Housed in the Neue Pinakothek (Bavarian State Painting Collections) in Munich, Music (Die Musik I, 1895) is celebrated by art historians as one of Gustav Klimt’s foundational masterpieces. Commissioned originally to decorate the music room of the Viennese industrialist Nikolaus Dumba, the painting breaks decisively with traditional 19th-century academic realism. Klimt depicts a young woman in profile playing an ancient golden cithara (lyre). To her left stands a theatrical mask of Silenus (symbolizing Dionysian artistic passion), while to her right stands a stone sphinx (symbolizing the inscrutable mystery of artistic creation). The flat, floating gold motifs and ornamental organic patterns against the deep blue background directly prefigure Klimt’s famous Golden Phase and the founding of the Vienna Secession in 1897.
