A meadow thick with red poppies, blue cornflowers and white daisies runs up the canvas between fruit trees, the flowers growing smaller toward a band of bright green lawn, rounded trees and a thin strip of grey cloudy sky. Every surface is broken into small dabs of colour, and there is no cast shadow anywhere. Klimt painted it in 1907 during a summer stay at Litzlberg on the Attersee, probably looking down from a first-floor window, which tips the field up like a tapestry. The debt to French Impressionism is plain, though his colour is stronger and more ornamental. It is in the Belvedere in Vienna.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Poppy red scattered over cool greens and blues suits a kitchen, sunny living room or a cottage bedroom on a white or pale green wall. Pair it with Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses, hung at 24×36 in a dark wood frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
