The Kiss (1896)
One of Rodin's most romantic sculpture. The fist kiss of 2 young beloved. And also their last. Fransesca, a young female out of the middle Italy in 1275 and the young Paolo were in love. During this kiss her husband came in and killed both lovers.
Among the presentations of loving couples The Kiss is certainly not the most daring. And yet it has always been considered as the symbol of sensuality and its tremendous celebrity is explained by its sensitivity and the skilful arrangement of its forms.
Like most of his sculptures, The Kiss, was also to be a part of The Gates of Hell.
