🐍 Hygieia – Medicine (Detail) – Gustav Klimt (1900-1907)

🎨 Hand-painted reproduction – By Alpha Reproduction

✨ The sacred power of healing in a burst of gold and mystery

In Hygieia, excerpt from the monumental painting Medicine by Gustav Klimt, the goddess of health and medicine is depicted in all her majesty.
Crowned with ornamental motifs and holding in her arms the serpent of Asclepius, an ancient symbol of healing, Hygieia embodies both the protective power and the spiritual strength of medicine.
With this rich and vibrant work, Klimt merges sensuality, mythology, and spirituality into a striking composition.

Thanks to our hand-painted reproduction, invite the sacred energy and mysterious radiance of a timeless icon into your home.

🕰️ Historical context: a masterpiece at the heart of controversy

Created between 1900 and 1907 for the University of Vienna, Medicine was commissioned from Gustav Klimt to celebrate science and education.
At its unveiling, the work caused a scandal: far from an academic glorification, Klimt offers a complex, dark, and sensual vision of medicine, where life and death intertwine inexorably.
Hygieia, the central figure of the composition, embodies hope, protection, and the power of medical knowledge in this life cycle.

Unfortunately, the original was destroyed during the Second World War, which gives this reproduction an invaluable historical and artistic value.

🎨 Visual analysis: gold, movement, and symbolism

👑 Hygieia, standing with a proud bearing, imposes her divine presence on the viewer.
🐍 The Rod of Asclepius, which elegantly coils along his arm, symbolizes regeneration, health, and immortality.
🎨 The dress, a cascade of red and gold threads, evokes the vitality flowing through the human and divine universe.
🌟 The palette rich in golds, reds, and yellows amplifies the sacred and eternal dimension of the figure.

Each element, between fluidity and power, magnifies the mystery of life and healing.

💖 Emotional and symbolic reading

Through Hygieia, Gustav Klimt conveys a universal message: medicine is not a cold science, but a sacred art, intimately connected to human destiny.
The upright posture, half-closed eyes, the vibrating serpent: everything suggests a balance between control, inner strength, and cosmic mystery.

A work that goes beyond simple allegory to become a visual hymn to resilience and protection.
