The ''Beethoven Frieze'' is a monumental work of art by the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, created as a part of the 14th Vienna Secessionist exhibition in 1902, which was intended to honor the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. This frieze is one of Klimt's most significant and renowned works, embodying the Secessionist movement's ethos and its connection to the broader Art Nouveau style prevalent in Europe at the time.

Spanning over 34 meters in length and 2 meters in height, the ''Beethoven Frieze'' is composed of three parts on the walls of the Secession Building's main hall, depicting a series of allegorical scenes that draw inspiration from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Richard Wagner's interpretation of it. The frieze illustrates a human quest for happiness in a suffering and tempestuous world, culminating in a choral celebration of joy and the arts, which is a direct reference to the "Ode to Joy" in Beethoven's symphony.

Klimt's masterpiece is renowned for its intricate use of gold leaf, ornamental patterns, and complex symbolism. The frieze features a variety of figures, including the knight in shining armor, representing humanity, who seeks fulfillment, the menacing forces of Typhoeus and his daughters, the Gorgons, symbolizing the challenges and fears that humanity faces, and the embracing couple, which signifies love and compassion as the ultimate redemption.

Originally intended as a temporary piece for the exhibition, the ''Beethoven Frieze'' was preserved and is now permanently housed in the Vienna Secession Building, where it continues to be a major attraction for visitors and a pivotal work in the study of Klimt's oeuvre and early 20th-century art. The frieze's complex interplay of themes and styles reflects the transitional period in which it was created, bridging the gap between traditional academic art and the avant-garde movements that would define the early 20th century.
