The eternal feminine beauty

Golden Tears, also known as Freya's Tears', a famous oil painting with gold leaf, is often attributed to Gustav Klimt but was actually painted by French artist Anne-Marie Zilberman who was influenced by his work.

We have little information about her.  We know that after studying Graphic Arts in Paris, she designed advertising posters and then became a stylist (Chakok, Gérard Darel, Kenzo, Galeries Lafayette...).
She  has also created illustrated posters for the Légendaire, festival du Conte & de l'Imaginaire (festival of tales and legends) for 20 years.
She likes to represent soft and nostalgic female figures, the eternal feminine beauty.

The magnificent and famous painting Golden tears actually is an inspiration from a mythological goddess, Freya (Njörd's daughter, the god of the wind and sea), the most famous of the Nordic goddesses.  She is the goddess of love, fertility, battle and death.
She has a twin brother, Freyr (also known as Ing or Ingvi), god of agriculture, earth, fertility, marriage and love.  He is well-known in Norway and Iceland.

Freya was married to the god Odr who just after the wedding often traveled to distant lands, therefore often absent from home, thus leaving her in tears, made of gold and which turned into amber when they fell into the sea.
