At the turn of the 19th century the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt was commissioned to decorate the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna. However the three paintings he produced - , and - were rejected by the university and later destroyed by retreating German troops during World War II. The story of these paintings, and another called , illuminates common ground between art and science, and highlights ongoing tensions in the relationships between art, science and society.
在 19 世纪之交，奥地利艺术家古斯塔夫·克里姆特（Gustav Klimt）受委托装饰维也纳大学大礼堂的天花板。然而，他创作的三幅画——《哲学》《医学》和《法学》——被大学拒绝，后来在第二次世界大战中被撤退的德国军队摧毁。这些画作以及另一幅名为《贝多芬装饰壁画》的画作的故事揭示了艺术和科学之间的共同点，并强调了艺术、科学和社会之间关系中持续存在的紧张关系。
