Klimt, the kiss
This is probably the most popular piece of art by Gustav Klimt, but then again this is probably because of something. It has this resemblance to paintings of Virgin Mary and baby Jesus in the shape and position of the subjects on the painting and in the choice of colors, but it depicts a profane act like kissing. However it is one of the most innocent, pure and at the same time sensual kisses depicted in art between couples, it is probably Klimt’s master piece, it has all the elements that can characterizes his paintings.
The first time I saw it was on a poster my oldest cousin brought to my place. She wanted to sow my mother what she was going to do for her new art project and how this particular painting had influenced her. I looked at it for a while and realized this was probably one of my favorite painters ever, the details on their clothing and how they seemed to transform into flowers was probably what stroked me the most.
