Rosebushes under the Trees as a print, in a room
What the painting shows
Rosebushes under the Trees by Klimt fills almost the entire square canvas with the dense foliage of an apple orchard. Thick dabs of green, yellow, lavender, and soft blue form an expansive tree canopy that crowds out all but a tiny sliver of sky in the top right corner. Round fruits in warm yellow and orange glow across the leafy branches.
Near the bottom, slender tree trunks rise from a bright green lawn. Clusters of pale pink and white roses grow upward on delicate bushes beneath the canopy, creating a patterned mosaic of floral blooms. Klimt signed the lower left corner in neat block letters.
The story behind it
Klimt painted the square oil painting in 1905, creating one of his notable landscapes focused entirely on nature. The work belongs to his series of flowers and gardens, where decorative texture and nature take center stage.
In 2022, France’s National Assembly approved the restitution of the painting to the heirs of Nora Stiasny. The artwork had previously been confused with another Klimt painting, Apple Tree II.
