THE THEATRE IN TAORMINA
Painted between 1886 and 1888 for the Burgtheater Vienna the Austrian - photo 11 Painted between 1886 and 1888 for the Burgtheater, Vienna, the Austrian National Theatre and one of the most important German language theatres in the world, this image demonstrates how Klimt, working together with his brother Ernst and their friend Franz Matsch, had successfully established a reputation for producing large scale decorative works for theatres in cities across Austria.

In 1886 Klimt had won the prestigious commission to decorate the ceilings in the two monumental staircases that led to the boxes in the newly constructed Burgtheater on Viennas Ringstrasse, as part of an ambitious scheme of urban renewal in the late nineteenth century. Klimts contributions to the project chart the history of theatre from ancient times to the modern era. The Theatre in Taormina reveals Klimts inspiration from the works of Hans Makart, the master of Vienna historicists, who had died two years before. Klimt was a great admirer of Makarts baroque style of lavish design, as demonstrated in this sumptuous, though decadent scene of the ancient theatre at Taormina, on the east coast of Sicily. However, unlike Makarts more traditional methods, Klimt adopted a more Parisian palette, delineating the subjects with bright colours, whilst depicting the classical buildings with a meticulous clarity that is reminiscent of the works of the Dutch artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

It is built for the most part of brick and is probably of Roman date, though the plan and arrangement are in accordance with those of Greek, rather than Roman theatres.

THE OLD BURGTHEATER IN VIENNA
This 1888 canvas represents the old theatre in Vienna detailing the faces of - photo 18 This 1888 canvas represents the old theatre in Vienna, detailing the faces of many recognisable personalities in high Austrian society, as they attend an evening performance. Due to its photographic realism the painting was awarded a prize of 4,000 guilders by the Emperor himself, illustrating Klimts versatile talent. During the initial planning of the composition, the artist was reportedly inundated by requests from Viennas socialites, as his fellow citizens were desperate to appear in the much talked about painting. Klimt is believed to have made over a thousand preparatory drawings, whilst arranging the composition. As an exercise in publicity, the painting was a great success and Klimt quickly became a famous figure in Vienna.

However, in spite of the realism of the individual figures, the overall effect of this picture has been criticised by some for being stilted and artificial, appearing as an elaborate collage, as the individual subjects fail to interact with each other in the canvas. Nevertheless, the meticulous skills demonstrated in the piece found favour in high circles in Vienna, winning for the young artist many more prestigious commissions.
