One of the most famous works by the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt and one of the most widely reproduced works of art worldwide, Adele Bloch-Bauer I which portrays the beautiful wife of Austrian magnate Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer. Adele was the only woman painted by Klimt on more than one occasion. Apart from the beauty and value of the painting, the daring sea of gold that surrounds Adele and the gentle intimacy with which her fragile figure is portrayed have shrouded the history of this painting in mystery. Beyond speculation as to a special bond between artist and model, observation of the painting with a keener, clinical gaze yields evidence of potential illness in the model: facial erythema which, if not produced artificially by makeup, could represent a malar rash; pallor or cyanosis of the hands; and her draped fingers, which seemingly attempt to hide a deformity. This paper seeks to provide a biographical review both of the painter, Gustav Klimt, and of the subject, Adele Bloch-Bauer; to analyse Klimt's two portrayals of her in a search for evidence of a potential intimate relationship between artist and muse and, finally, to compile clinical evidence of possible diagnoses for the Lady in Gold.
奥地利象征主义画家古斯塔夫·克里姆特最著名的作品之一，也是全球复制最为广泛的艺术作品之一，《阿黛尔·布洛赫-鲍尔一号》描绘了奥地利大亨斐迪南·布洛赫-鲍尔美丽的妻子。阿黛尔是克里姆特不止一次描绘的唯一女性。除了这幅画的美感和价值外，环绕阿黛尔的大胆金色海洋以及描绘她脆弱身躯时的温柔亲昵，都让这幅画的历史笼罩在神秘之中。除了猜测艺术家与模特之间的特殊关系外，以更敏锐、临床的目光观察这幅画，能发现模特可能患病的迹象：面部红斑，如果不是化妆人为造成的，可能代表蝶形红斑；手部苍白或发绀；以及她搭着的手指，似乎试图隐藏某种畸形。本文旨在对画家古斯塔夫·克里姆特和画中人物阿黛尔·布洛赫-鲍尔进行传记式回顾；分析克里姆特对她的两幅画像，以寻找艺术家与缪斯之间潜在亲密关系的证据；最后，汇总这位“金色女士”可能诊断结果的临床证据。
