Painted by Gustav Klimt in 1906, "Cottage Garden with Sunflowers" features sunflowers, dahlias, marigolds, asters, and phlox against a backdrop of lush greenery. According to The Belvedere, "The vibrant profusion evokes memories of a radiant summer day. It transports us to a dream world beyond space and time, where flowers and leaves never wither." Like many of his landscapes, Klimt painted with the aid of a viewfinder (a hole cut in a piece of cardboard) to find "the optimal composition."
