Ferdinand Bauer | Illustrationes florae Novae Hollandiae, London, 1989, limited facsimile edition, no. 27 of 35

Ferdinand Bauer (1760-1826) went as an artist of natural history on the coastal survey of New Holland, under the command of Captain Flinders of the HMS Investigator. Robert Brown was the naturalist on this expedition, and both he and Bauer went on the recommendation and at the expense of Sir Joseph Banks. In 1803, after the Investigator was condemned as unseaworthy, Captain Flinders decided to return to England to obtain another ship to complete the expedition. Bauer and Brown, however, continued their travels in Australia, and finally returned to England in 1805 with several thousands of botanical specimens and many hundreds of sketches of plants. In 18[06] Bauer began to publish his Illustrationes florae Novae Hollandiae, a work which did not meet with sufficient encouragement to be continued after the third number' (Henrey 2:195). Ferdinand Bauer's elder brother, Franz Andreas, later explained that the project was abandoned due to Ferdinand's inability to find competent engravers and colourists to complete it, forcing Ferdinand's return to his native Austria. According to Stafleu, fewer than fifty copies were published.

Gustav Klimt (14 July 1862 – 6 February 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement.

The Kiss - Gustav Klimt

‘The Kiss’ by Gustav Klimt was painted between 1907 and 1908 during the height of what scholars call his ‘Golden Period’ in which a number of his artworks were inspired by Byzantine mosaics. The painting depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborately decorated robes against a gold leaf background.

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, 1907 - Gustav Klimt

‘Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I’ is an oil painting with gold and silver leaf on canvas produced by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. The portrait was commissioned by the sitter’s husband, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, a Jewish banker and sugar producer. The portrait is the final and most fully representative work of what scholars have coined as his ‘golden period’ in which a number of his artworks were inspired by Byzantine imagery and mosaics.

Gustav Klimt

As the leading Viennese painter of the early 20th century, Gustav Klimt (1862 -1918) influenced, amongst others, Egon Schiele. Klimt is most known for his sensuous, highly-decorative portraits but he also created richly verdant landscapes. The luxuriant works adorned with gold leaf produced in the 'Golden Phase' of his career include his famous 1908 painting 'The Kiss'.
