"The affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree... As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications." --Charles Darwin, 1859
It amazes me how romantic and brilliant the painting is. I really like Tree of Life in particular with all the swirls :) Gustav Klimt is one of my all time faves. The artist's masterpiece - the Kiss is breathtaking. It's so romantic and sensitive - the guy kissing the girl's cheek, and you can see a subtle smile on her face.
