<div class="text-justify"> Let's go through the work and meet one of Gustav Klimt's muse. In Greek mythology the Muses are inspiring divinities daughters of Zeus and Mnemósine, companions of the court of Apollo, god of the Olympus of music and patron of the fine arts. They are Nine deities that used to come down to earth to give inspiration to those who needed it and cheered: Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore and Urania. Today we perceive them as everything that motivates us to develop an idea. For Gustav Klimt, a true muse was Adele Bloch Bauer, who appeared in his life in the midst of a professional crisis as a result of the rejection of her work classified as pornographic. It is the model's husband who contacts him to recreate her and honor her love for art, that is how the Golden Lady or the also known <b>The Lady in Gold</b> was born. However for Adele everything was not so bright. Through the eyes of her niece Maria Altman, heir to the art works, the model was like this:</div>

> "She was a cold and intellectual woman who became in a socialite. She was not very happy, it was an arranged marriage but without children, she had two miscarriages and his only baby died. I remember her extremely elegant, tall and thin. She always wore a white silk dress and was always smoking. "

<div class="text-justify"> <b>Adele Bloch Bauer</b> was born in Vienna in 1881, the daughter of a leading banker, with a childhood surrounded by opulence and cultural incentives. At the age of 19th, her marriage to Ferdinand Bloch Bauer, an entrepreneur in the sugar sector, was arranged. However, he was always complacent with his wife, lover of art, defender of the feminine vote, with a different character totally to what Viennese society used to be, maybe that was what made her so intimate with Klimt. She was famous for the festive encounters that she made full of artists and intellectuals with whom she enjoyed so much to talk: Richard Brahms, Gustav Mahler Wagner, Stephan Zweig were some of the attendees.</div>

<div class="text-justify"> Thanks to more than 200 drawings and 2 portraits made to Adele, they have been related beyond a professional realtion , however the richest of them has been the historical burden of the painting: The  Lady in Gold. Due to the legal patrimonial contest of 6 years between the United States and Austria, after the confiscation during the Nazi invasion. At the end, the US keeps the work together with another 4 thanks to the inheritance left by the same model. The painting was handed over to 83-year-old Maria Altmann, Ferdinand's distant niece, who auctioned it and Ronald S. Lauder, a mogul of the cosmetics firm, bought it "for a record price of $ 135 million and with the promise that the work was always hanging in the Neue Galerie in New York. <b>"This is our Mona Lisa,</b>" Lauder said.</div>

<div class="text-justify"> This work was chosen by Alejelinson in ig to reinterpret it, where the mixture of ornaments and the presence of the dorado were present in a way as relevant as respect to the foundations of Klimt.
The Adele of the present would be enjoying the benefits of art much more and would continue to praise the artists, that is how we managed to capture it. Alejandro Venegas is a landscape photographer from my city, renowned for his wide gallery where the sun, the blues between the sea and the sky are protagonists. He also ventures into the area of ​​capturing the female silhouette with a poetic touch exalting that detail that makes her unique, for me an honor to have been muse and interpret such an important work.</div>
