Gustav Klimt's 1905 painting ' The Three Ages of Woman's is this Mother Monday entry. Co
Completed in 1905 while residing in Austria, 'The Three Ages of Woman' is one of the most distinguished pieces of the Vienna Movement.
'The Three Ages of Woman' is exactly what the title says. A baby girl being held by her mother with an older woman looking down with her long hair and hand hiding her face. To me this also represents the Triple Goddess and/or Maiden ( the baby) , Mother and Crone. The woman covering her face is heartbreaking. Whether by design or not there seems to be a suggestion that a woman should be ashamed of growing old but a man's body is in the same boat as he ages. Again, this is my thought.
I still love the painting.
