Death and Life ☲ Klimt ☷ Art Print ocean in contrast to other printsDeath and Life (1915) by Gustav Klimt is regarded as one of his greatest allegories he described it as his most important figurative work. A menacing Grim Reaper with cudgel watches over a vibrant display of all stages of life, including a mother and child, an old woman, and a loving couple. Both death and life are adorned with colorful art nouveau mosaics. Death may claim one from life, but life itself eludes its grasp.
