Jurisprudence (Klimt University Painting)

Gustav Klimt

The third and most radical of Klimt's University of Vienna ceiling paintings. Rather than celebrating the triumph of law, Jurisprudence depicted a frail old man ensnared by a monstrous octopus symbolising the legal system, surrounded by the Furies. It was Klimt's darkest and most confrontational work.
