The Kiss (German: Der Kuss) is an oil-on-canvas painting with added gold leaf, silver and platinum by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt.[3] It was painted at some point in 1907 and 1908, during the height of what scholars call his "Golden Period".[citation needed] It was exhibited in 1908 under the title Liebespaar (the lovers)[4] as stated in the catalogue of the exhibition. The painting depicts a couple embracing each other, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement.
The painting now hangs in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in the Belvedere, Vienna, and is considered a masterpiece of Vienna Secession (local variation of Art Nouveau) and considered by many to be Klimt's most important work. [5][6] It is considered by many as a famous work of art.[7]
