What can unite three names such as "Austrian Mona Lisa", "Golden Adele", "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer"? All these names refer to the same work of Gustav Klimt.
Historians believe that on the eve of writing this work, there was the revenge of her husband for the wife's love relationship with the artist. At the beginning of the last century, the sugar factory worker Bloch-Bauer learns about the betrayal of his wife with the artist Gustav Klimt. According to the stories and mentions in the books, the whole of Vienna discussed this turbulent romance.
Gustav Klimt found inspiration and an inexhaustible source of energy for writing his works. Adel's husband came up with an original way to get revenge. He ordered the artist to write a portrait of his wife Adel for such a sum that Klimt could not refuse him. In order for the artist to be fed up and abandoned his mistress, Adel's husband endlessly demanded more and more sketches for work, and as a result, the work on the picture took almost 4 years. And according to the husband's reasoning, his cunning plan was a success. Gustav Klimt very quickly cooled off from his ideal of inspiration.
This work survived the Second World War. By coincidence, a found will, where Gustav Klimt bequeaths all his property to his tribesmen. At that time, only one living in America remained alive. The picture to this point was kept in the Vienna Gallery. The heir was ready to leave Klimt's works in Austria for 300 million Dollars, but Austria refused to pay such a sum. Later the painting was sold to the gallery in New York for 135 million. Austria is now only content with souvenir products from the "Golden Adele"
