Circumstances of Destruction or Loss
Philosophy
and its
companion
canvases
,
Medicine
and
Jurisprudence
, were
shown
together
in
1943
at the
Exhibition
Hall
Friedrichstrasse
in
Vienna
in
commemoration
of
eightieth
anniversary
of the
artist's
birth
.
Immediately
following
the
show
all
three
paintings
were
removed
to the
Schloss
Immendorf
in
Lower
Austria
for
safekeeping
where
they were
destroyed
when
the
castle
was
burned
by
retreating
SS
troops
.
Notes
Klimt
was
commissioned
in
1893
to
decorate
the
ceiling
of
Great
Hall
in the
University
of
Vienna
with
canvases
representing
the
faculties
of the
university
.
When
the
radical
canvases
were
displayed
they were
attacked
as
pornographic
and
decadent
, and
Klimt
resigned
from the
commission
.
Klimt
later
gave
Philosophy
to
August
Lederer
when
Lederer
helped
him
repay
the
advance
he had
received
from the
Ministry
of
Education
.
Philosophy
was
exhibited
in the
seventh
Vienna
Secession
exhibition
in
March
1900
