Spotlight: Schubert at the Piano

Schubert at the Piano, 1899

The Greek industrialist Nikolaus Dumba, a patron of the arts and a music lover, particularly of the music of Franz Schubert, commissioned Klimt to paint two music paintings for decoration above the doors in his music room; one being Music II and the other Schubert at the Piano. In it's time Klimt's Schubert was his most well-known work, it's popularity only surpassed later by The Kiss. Poet, essayist and critic Hermann Bahr once wrote: “In my opinion Klimt’s Schubert is the finest painting ever done by an Austrian."

Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware!

Buyer beware! Do not be fooled into ordering poor quality reproductions that are made overseas!

Here is a recent testimonial from one of our clients:

"I recently purchased a Klimt painting I always wanted from an inexpensive source, the price seemed too good to be true because it was made in China... They totally missed the detailing! Not to mention the fact they used incorrect colors, but overall it was painted crudely. I am so glad to have found your site and will be commissioning more pieces from you after I have resolved this mess I never should have gotten into." - D.N., Cucamonga, CA
