History & Materials
The story
Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, stands at the foot of Medicine, one of three ceiling paintings Klimt made for the University of Vienna. Its frank images of illness and death drew protests, and in 1905 Klimt withdrew from the commission and returned his fee. The complete canvas burned at Immendorf Castle in 1945.
