#RomeNoVirus

Keep it up! At CasaFrisi we are trying to do exactly that. The house is empty, of course, and Rome is deserted. But we decided that from now on we will take you around virtually, waiting and preparing the moment in which you will be able to come again in real life, as tourists. We called it #RomeNoVirus

Today we will talk about a very famous painting of the National Gallery of Rome (on google maps you can find it here, near Villa Borghese): The three ages of the woman, by Gustav Klimt, oil painting on canvas of 180 x 180 cm, visible online thanks to Google Arts and Culture.

In a single painting, Klimt symbolically represents the three main moment of a woman’s life: childhood, motherhood and old age.

Let’s have a look at this video that explains Klimt’s work

Also watch Mercedes Weidmer presenting ‘The Three Ages of Woman’ in 2014

Here a description, here a look and here a deeper look

Klimt inspired many painters, writers, musician.

This work in particular has been digitally reimagined as vectorial art, using Adobe Illustrator

Someone made a Wooled work of art out of it

Someone else a christmas gift

You can try it on your own. Or else, you could

And don’t forget to listen to some jazz music inspired by Klimt

Better still, the full album by Italian composer Claudio Ottaviano
