What the painting shows

Poppy Field by Klimt presents a dense meadow teeming with red poppies, blue blossoms, and small yellow and white wildflowers. Two fruit trees stand on the left and right, framing the field as it stretches upward toward green hills and orchard rows under a pale sky. The composition rises almost to the top edge, turning the grassy slope into a vibrant mosaic of colored dots and speckled brushstrokes.

The story behind it

Gustav Klimt painted Poppy Field in 1907 in oil on canvas. Also known by German titles such as Mohnwiese and Blühender Mohn, the work belongs to his renowned landscapes and flowers and gardens series. Klimt used a square canvas measuring 110 by 110 centimeters to balance the scene, letting natural patterns fill the pictorial surface.

Where to see it

The original painting hangs in the Belvedere in Vienna, Austria. It is part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Choosing a print

Prints are printed and shipped by ArtsyWall in three formats: Premium Canvas, Framed Canvas and Archival Paper.

Framed Canvas encases the textured surface in a wood floating frame, giving definition to the bright green orchard rows and scattered red poppies.

Premium Canvas lets the meadow wrap neatly around solid wood stretcher bars, creating a clean display that keeps focus entirely on the colorful floral field.

Archival Paper suits anyone who prefers a matte cotton surface under glass, where the fine flecks of white daisies, cornflowers, and fruit tree leaves can be seen in crisp detail.
