Gustav Klimt was inspired by a few things. The Austrian painter drew inspiration from traditional Japanese artwork and from pieces produced by other western artists, such as Fernand Khnopff and Vincent van Gogh. In addition, he found decorative Byzantine mosaics to be inspiring. In fact, you can see their influence in many of his works, including The Kiss and The Tree of Life, Stoclet Frieze.
