About The Kiss
The Kiss (1908) by Gustav Klimt is considered to be one of Klimt's most important works, and is certainly the most well known. The painting depicts a couple embracing under intricate rectangular and floral patterned robes that reflect Art Nouveau as well as Arts and Crafts influences. The man is wearing a crown of vines and the woman a crown of flowers. Several theories exist as to who the couple is, with no definitive answer.
