The Klimt University of Vienna Ceiling Paintings also known as the Faculty Paintings were a series of paintings made by Gustav Klimt for the ceiling of the University of Vienna’s Great Hall between the years of 1900-1907. In 1894 Klimt was commissioned to paint the ceiling. Upon presenting his paintings Philosophy Medicine and Jurisprudence Klimt came under attack for ‘pornography’ and ‘perverted excess’ in the paintings. None of the paintings would go on display in the university.
