The Kiss is an oil-on-canvas painting created by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. The painting depicts a couple embracing each other, their bodies entwined in elaborate beautiful robes decorated in a style influenced by contemporary Art Nouveau. It was first exhibited under the title Liebespaar (The Lovers).
Besides paint, Klimt used gold leaf, silver and platinum in this work. He was inspired to use gold leaf after visiting Italian churches in which he saw Byzantine mosaics.
Klimt himself may be the man in painting, however this has not been proven. If it is in fact Klimt, this would be the artist’s only known self-portrait.
