The Kiss was painted by the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt between 1907 and 1908. Dimensions: 5′ 11″ x 5′ 11″ Location: Österreichische Galerie Belvedere Created: 1907–1908 Periods: Vienna Secession, Art Nouveau Genres: Genre art, History painting The two in the painting are enchanted with love and that is what Klimt wanted to convey. The background evokes the conflict between two- and three-dimensional aspects of the work. The kiss almost looks as if it is being forced upon the woman. It is a little unsettling to look at but is still sensual and beautiful. The works is very geometric looking and it contains a lot of organic shapes. |
Artist: Francesco Hayez
Location: Pinacoteca di Brera
Period: Romanticism
Created: 1859–1859
Extremely realistic and very detailed. the kiss seems more consensual in this painting rather than the other. the colors are very natural and they don't stick out too much except for the man's leggings. red is often used to represent authoritative figures or royals.
