About the picture: a painting by Gustav Klimt titled 'Januar'
About Januar
The artwork titled “Januar,” created by the artist Gustav Klimt in 1901, is an allegorical painting in Art Nouveau style.
On one side, there is a statuesque individual with wings, reminiscent of classical angelic representations. This figure is holding another, smaller and more feminine figure in an intimate embrace while also poised as if offering a gift, perhaps symbolic of the new year. Intriguingly, this winged figure’s feet seem to morph into the roots or base of the composition, grounding it in an organic, yet fantastical foundation.
On the opposite side, a cloaked individual lurks, shrouded in darkness. This figure may be representative of the ending of the past year or could signify caution or the unknown that typically accompanies the onset of something new, such as the turn of the calendar year. The overall layout is rectangular, bordered with geometric precision, and the word “JANUAR” is prominently inscribed at the base, underscoring the thematic focus on the month of January.
