THE KISS /1859/ by FRANCESCO HAYEZ

The painting is a depiction of a couple embracing one another whilesurrounded by a classical architectural setting. It was meant to epitomize the ideals of love, passion, and intensity of emotions for that era.

Hayez created this painting during a period of political turmoil in Italy, where Romantic artists sought to emphasize emotional and nationalistic themes in their works. The painting was commissioned by Alfonso Maria Visconti di Saliceto, a known Italian patriot, and was intended to symbolize the alliance between Italy and France during the Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification.

The painting is rich in symbolism. The central figures symbolize unity and harmony, whereas the turbulent background can be interpreted as the hard times of Italian unification efforts. Hayez was influenced by Renaissance art, particularly in the composition and chiaroscuro. This influence can be seen in the careful attention to detail and the soft, almost ethereal lighting of the figures.

Despite the political undertones, the focus of the painting is on the intimate, romantic embrace between the two figures, which has made it one of the most famous and iconic Romantic paintings in Italian art.
