Listed under Works of Art in Vienna, Austria.
The Kiss (original Der Kuss) was painted by Gustav Klimt, and is probably his most famous work. It depicts a couple shrouded in gold and symbols sharing a kiss against a bland background.
This piece, painted in 1908, is on display at the Austrian Gallery in the Belvedere Palace, Vienna.
