Reason

Own article, big file. The painting from 1859 represents a couple embracing and kissing each other. It is among the most passionate and intense representations of a kiss in the history of Western art. Jewel in Romanticism: Hayez’s “The Kiss”:

The kiss. A magical word used to name many works of art, the most renowned probably being Klimt’s golden embrace. Of equal splendor is Il Bacio (Italian for The Kiss), a Romantic painting by Milanese artist Francesco Hayez. However, Il Bacio doesn’t show just a kiss. Il Bacio is the iconic kiss that represents the birth of Italy.
