Portrait of Emile Floge by Gustav Klimt is one of those images that never dates. Our studio recreates it as a hand painted oil painting — textured, color-rich, and ready to hang as canvas wall art in a bedroom, study, or reception area.
ca 1893
Oil on cardboard
Galerie bei der Albertina, Vienna, Austria.
Emilie Floge (1874-1952) was Klimt's lifelong companion, mistress and one of his principal heirs. She was born into the family of Hermann Floge, a prosperous pipe manufacturer. It is uncertain when she first met Klimt, but his first portrait of her dates to 1891. She would appear in many of his paintings as both subject and model. That same year Emilie's elder sister Helene married Klimt's younger brother, Ernst.
In 1895, Emilie's eldest sister Pauline Floge opened a school for dressmakers, in which Emilie worked as well. In 1899, the Floge sisters win a dressmaking contest and are commissioned to sew a cambric dress for an exhibition.In 1903, the Floge sisters opened their fashion boutique in Vienna.
After Klimt's death in 1918, Emilie inherited half of his belongings, the other half passing to his family.
In 1938, after the German Anschluss with Austria, the Floge sisters had to close their boutique. Emilie died in 1952, at the age of 78.
Collectors often choose this figurative image when searching for portrait oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For bedroom wall art that does not feel generic, a painted figurative canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular portrait oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
In short: Portrait of Emile Floge - Gustav Klimt - Canvas Oil Painting combines an art nouveau composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for portrait oil painting and bedroom wall art.
