The Kiss - Gustav Klimt

This is Gustav Klimt's most popular work. He painted this work between 1907 and 1908, at the height of his golden period. The work presents a couple embracing, hidden under a huge golden sheet that gives a dimension of eternity to the couple that it encloses and protects: on the side of the man, we observe symbols of strength, virility and masculinity; on the side of the woman, Klimt presents rather symbols of femininity and motherhood.
