He is well-known for his iconic paintings such as "The Kiss," "The Tree of Life," and "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I." Klimt's work, which straddles the line between traditional and modern art, continues to be celebrated for its decorative beauty and psychological depth, leaving a lasting impact on the art world.
