The Three Ages of a Woman, Gustav Klimt (1905)

This 20th Century masterpiece from renowned Austrian painter Klimt depicts the three stages of a woman’s life; childhood, motherhood, and old age. Watch the bold brush works, creating a visual poem unabashed, and so unapologetically powerful.

Hercules and Lichas, Antonio Canova (1795-1815)

This stunningly crafted sculpture was the first colossal statue executed by Canova. The statue of Hercules poised to throw his servant, Lichas, into the sea took 20 years to create, since its initial commission in 1795.

Le Cabanon de Jourdan, Paul Cézanne (1906)

With bright colors and distinctly Cézanne, this oil on canvas painting is worth your admiration. Carefully observe the loose handling of brushstrokes and impasto technique, one of the finest modern artworks and also, the most influential.

Watery Paths, Jackson Pollock (1947)

Hailed as one of the finest examples of contemporary art, this Pollock’s masterpiece incorporates color dripping technique. A unique style of experiment where color drips from the above, capturing the fluidity and energy on canvas.

The Gardener, Vincent Van Gogh (1889)

Though not one of his most famous art pieces, any work of Van Gogh’s is worthy of a visit. ‘The Gardener’ is a wonderful oil-on-canvas portrait piece strikingly similar to his own self-portrait. This is considered the finest among the ones he created at the asylum.

Other notable artworks include Monet’s ‘Ninfee Rosa’, Giovanni Boldini’s ‘Portrait of Giuseppe Verdi’, and Giacomo Balla’s ‘Un’onda di Luce’.
