Love

During his lifetime, the artist Gustav Klimt was considered a national treasure in Austria. He still is. Klimt was the founder of the Vienna Secession, the Austrian Art Nouveau movement. His paintings were admired by people back then and are loved even more so now; there is no doubt that he is one of the most famous and popular artists in the world. You probably have heard of his name in association with the 1907-08 painting called The Kiss, which is one of his most famous works. 

However, in contrast to his high reputation as an artist, he was seen in his time as the "Vienna Casanova." Some of his contemporaries condemned him because he never married (though he maintained a lifelong relationship with Emilie Louise Flöge), nor would he stay committed to any single woman. He had numerous lovers and seemed to have an insatiable sex drive, fathering at least fourteen children over the years.
