The Kiss ☲ Klimt ☰ Canvas architecture Prior to restoration in 1977The 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.
