The Kiss (in German Der Kuss) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. It was painted at some point in 1907 and 1908, during the height of what scholars call his "Golden Period". The painting depicts a couple embracing each other, their bodies entwined in elaborate beautiful 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 Klimt's most popular work.
From start to finish, each exceptional piece of artwork is thoughtfully hand-crafted by one of our artists at Project Picasso. In a world of high-volume production and mass consumption, we instead chose to go the old-fashioned way by leaving the machine out of the process. We only offer pieces that are wholly created by extraordinarily talented humans and by doing so, we are able to employ and sustain hundreds of artists worldwide.
Essentially, the artistic gems we offer are one-off masterpieces. The process by which we create our artwork is completely organic so not any two are exactly alike. Like fingerprints or slices of pizza, the painting hanging on your wall is truly one of a kind. From old-world Renaissance era classics to modern-day contemporary compositions, each canvas is lovingly composed by paint-stained hands.
