The story of Hope II

Hope II is a 1907–1908 oil-on-canvas painting with gold and platinum, by the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. It depicts a pregnant woman with closed eyes and was the second of Klimt's works to focus on a pregnant woman, both depicting Herma, one of his favourite models. It was originally entitled Vision by Klimt, but has become known as Hope II after the earlier work Hope, which is now distinguished as Hope I. Hope II was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1978.

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau style in Europe. Klimt is known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. He is best known for The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.
