Gustav Klimt – The Tree of Life

Klimt [1862-1918] painted The Tree of Life in 1909 as a study for a series of mosaics in the Stoclet Palace in Brussels during what is known as his ‘golden phase’.  In his unique Art Nouveau style, Klimt’s swirling branches twist, twirl, turn, and spiral, creating an expression of life's complexity.  The Tree of life is among the most recognisable from Gustav Klimt's career and an undisputed masterpiece.  

A painting of flowers by Gustav Klimt sold at Sotheby’s London in 2017 for £48 million, a record for a work by the artist and at the time, thethird-highest price for any work sold at auction in Europe.

Eight miles of 100% premium, full-colour cotton are woven into every Tree of Life throw blanket. The tapestry-style throw has the vibrant colour, brilliant detail and luscious soft feel that can be achieved only through jacquard weaving.

Drape your throw blanket over your sofa or bed or use to stay cosy while reading and watching telly. Unlike traditional Irish woollen throws, it can be machine washed and tumble dried and will stand up to years of daily use.  In fact, it will only become softer and more welcoming with time.

Gustav Klimt’s Tree of Life throw blanket is available in Ireland and the U.K. exclusively from Loominations.‍
