This famous painting, "The Kiss (Il Bacio, Der Kuss)", by Gustav Klimt, is a modernist depiction of a couple locked in a passionate embrace. The two lovers seem to lose themselves in the moment, their forms blending into a single golden, patterned image against the metallic gold background. The love of this couple has become an icon of the avant-garde Art Nouveau movement. Klimt was one of the most famous of the symbolist painters in Vienna, Austria at the turn of the last century. The original hangs in the Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, Austria but you can return to this image any time by adding it to your order today.
