Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed then foil stamped. And they’re powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example is Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Baroness Elisabeth Bachofen-Echt.
Gustav Klimt is one of the most iconic artists of the Vienna Secession and the Art Nouveau movements. Portrait of Baroness Bachofen-Echt showcases Klimt’s distinct style, particularly in its use of Oriental motifs, which became a crucial feature of his later works. Though surrounded by vivid colours, the soft pastel palette used to depict the Baroness herself imbues the subject with refinement and regal elegance.
