Gustav Klimt's 150th birthday
In honor of Gustav Klimt's 150th birthday Google has put this image of The Kiss on its homepage. Klimt's Jurisprudence was posted here a little while ago.  Adele Bloch-Bauer I (below) is Klimt's finest work and is on display at the Neue Galerie museum in New York. At the time of its purchase for the museum by Ronald Lauder it was the most expensive painting ever sold.
