Montblanc Fountain Pen Masters of Art Homage to Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 4810 ref. 130225

In Limited Edition 4810, the yellow gold-finished hammered cone is embellished with a green synthetic spinel, a color that evokes spring, the season of new beginnings. Klimt’s “Secession” monogram, a gold stamp of his initials – GK – refers to the artist’s achievements within the Secession. The clip of the Homage to Gustav Klimt 4810 Limited Edition was specially made on the inspiration of Gustav Klimt’s “Pallas Athena.” Athena is the goddess of war and art, and is portrayed in the act of launching the fight for artistic freedom. The gently curved lines ending in three spirals on the yellow gold-finished clip match the decorations on the forged metal frame. The handcrafted Au 750 solid yellow gold nib is finely engraved with an owl, a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, and intuition, and is considered the faithful animal of the Greek goddess Athena. The engraving is a reference to Gustav Klimt’s painting of “Pallas Athena” and also to the Viennese Secession building, whose side facades are decorated with owl sculptures.
