This artwork, part of Gustav Klimt's contribution to the Stoclet Frieze, features the Tree of Life, a shimmering composition with intricate patterns and symbolic spirals. Klimt's use of gold, geometric shapes, and organic elements exemplifies his unique blend of traditional themes with Art Nouveau style.

A fascinating documentary here about John Barbirolli from 1965, showing him conducting Berlioz, Bruckner and Tchaikovsky, playing the cello, cooking dinner with his wife Evelyn Rothwell, telling anecdotes, and doing a fearful amount of smoking. Excellent image quality too. youtu.be/laqDg0b_v0A?...
