Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez was born in 1599 in Seville, Spain. He was a painter of both Kings and Popes. Today his art hangs in museums around the world.
Las Hilanderas, a genre scene in a tapestry factory, is at the same time an illustration of the ancient Greek fable of the spinning contest.

The Kiss hangs in Belvedere palace, in Vienna, Austria.
Some think that Klimt and his beloved companion Emilie Flöge modeled for the masterpiece.
The Kiss is a discreet expression of Klimt’s emphasis on eroticism and the liberation therein. The Kiss falls in line with Klimt’s exploration of fulfillment and the redeeming, transformative power of love and art. The Kiss is deviant from Klimt’s frequent portrayal of women as the lascivious femme fatale.

Hanging in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, La maja vestida is a painting by Spanish painter Francisco de Goya between 1798 and 1805. It is a clothed version of La maja desnuda. The painting, which was first owned by Prime Minister Manuel de Godoy, who was known as an avid womanizer, was originally hung in his home in front of the naked maja in a way that the naked maja could be revealed at any time with the help of a pulley mechanism.

Gustav Klimt - Three Ages of Women - Mother and Child
Clementoni - Italian Puzzlemakers of Great Art - 1000 Pieces
Klimt's work is distinguished by the elegant gold or coloured decoration, often of a phallic shape that conceals the more erotic positions of the drawings upon which many of his paintings are based. This can be seen in Judith I (1901), and in The Kiss (1907–1908), and especially in Danaë (1907). One of the most common themes Klimt utilized was that of the dominant woman, the femme fatale. Art historians note an eclectic range of influences contributing to Klimt's distinct style, including Egyptian, Minoan, Classical Greek, and Byzantine inspirations. Klimt was also inspired by the engravings of Albrecht Dürer, late medieval European painting, and Japanese Rimpa school. His mature works are characterized by a rejection of earlier naturalistic styles, and make use of symbols or symbolic elements to convey psychological ideas and emphasize the "freedom" of art from traditional culture.
