This lecture seeks to locate Klimt within the social milieu of Vienna and investigate his charming personality and idiosyncratic art. His
images of the femme fatale are definitive encapsulations of turn of the 19th century decadence and sensuality, and have retained an enduring
fascination.
For the last 20 years Tim Stimson has been a freelance cultural/art historian, specialising in 17th and 19th century art and society.
He now lectures for the universities of Cambridge, Nottingham and Hull; the WEA and NADFAS
