Ola P., 8a

"Kiss" on oil, on canvas, decorated with gold flakes. It was painted between the years 1907-1908, in the so-called the golden period of Klimt's work. The picture has dimensions of 180x180 cm, it was included in the study of the Austrian Belvedere Gallery  in 1908, where it can be admired to this day. There is a couple of lovers in the foreground they are hugging each other. The figures are dressed in patterned robes, they are standing in a meadow full of flowers. The woman is shown in a kneeling pose and the men's strong arms keep her upright. We don't know what age they are, but it looks like they are fourteen years old. I think it is night or evening meeting. Maybe it is good-night kiss or their love is banned. In my opinion the girl is extremely content but a bit shy. We can't see the man's face but I have the feeling that he is in love that girl. All in all I like this painting, but it is not my favourite one. With pleasure I would see this piece of art in museum but I wouldn’t want to have this picture in my house.
