"Water Serpents II" is a celebrated painting by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, created during his "Golden Phase" between 1904 and 1907. This work is part of a series that explores the theme of sensuality and the female form, a common subject in Klimt's oeuvre. The painting is known for its intricate use of pattern, gold leaf, and its erotic symbolism, which was characteristic of Klimt's work during this period.

The painting depicts an entanglement of female bodies, intertwined with each other and with the serpentine forms that give the piece its name. The figures are set against a richly decorative background that is typical of Klimt's style, incorporating a mosaic of ornamental motifs that shimmer with gold, evoking the opulence and decadence of the fin-de-siècle period. The use of gold leaf and the intricate patterns reflect Klimt's interest in Byzantine mosaics, which he had studied during his travels.

"Water Serpents II" is often interpreted as a celebration of feminine beauty and eroticism, with the water serpents possibly symbolizing the allure and danger of female sexuality. The painting's composition, with its flowing lines and merging forms, creates a dreamlike quality that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy.

The artwork is executed on canvas and combines oil paint with a layer of gold leaf, a technique that Klimt mastered and that became a hallmark of his most famous works, including "The Kiss" and "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I." "Water Serpents II" is part of a larger body of work that includes other paintings and sketches exploring similar themes.

As with many of Klimt's paintings, "Water Serpents II" was met with both acclaim and controversy due to its explicit content and departure from traditional artistic norms of the time. Today, it is regarded as a masterpiece of Symbolist art and is held in a private collection, having been subject to various legal disputes over its provenance, particularly in the context of art restitution related to the Nazi era. The painting's allure continues to captivate audiences, and it remains an important example of Klimt's contribution to modern art.
