"Studien Fur Das Fakultatsbild 'medizin' Fur Den 1. Zustand" is a preparatory study by the renowned Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. Created as part of his ambitious project to produce a series of paintings for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, this work is specifically linked to the faculty painting "Medicine." Klimt, who was a leading figure in the Vienna Secession movement, was commissioned in 1894 to create three monumental paintings representing Philosophy, Medicine, and Jurisprudence. These works were intended to celebrate the intellectual achievements of the university's faculties.

The study for "Medicine" reflects Klimt's distinctive style, characterized by intricate patterns, symbolic imagery, and a departure from traditional academic art. Klimt's vision for "Medicine" was controversial; rather than glorifying the medical profession, he presented a complex and somewhat pessimistic view of human existence and the limitations of medical science. The final composition featured a central figure of Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, surrounded by a swirling mass of human figures representing life, death, and suffering.

Klimt's approach to the faculty paintings, including "Medicine," was met with significant criticism from both the academic community and the public. Critics argued that his work was too radical and did not appropriately honor the subjects it was meant to depict. Despite the controversy, Klimt's studies for these paintings are now considered important works in his oeuvre, showcasing his innovative use of allegory and his mastery of the human form.

The original "Medicine" painting, along with the other faculty paintings, was destroyed in a fire set by retreating German forces during World War II in 1945. However, the preparatory studies, such as "Studien Fur Das Fakultatsbild 'medizin' Fur Den 1. Zustand," survive and provide valuable insight into Klimt's creative process and his contributions to modern art. These studies are held in various collections and continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.
