Kiss
published on Mar 29, 21
Reproduction "The Kiss" (Italian: Il bacio) by the Italian artist Francesco Ayets, painted in 1859 in the style of Italian romanticism. The original of the Painting is at @pinacotecabrera in Milan, where I was able to visit in 2014. In 2008, the painting was sold at Sotheby's in London for £ 780,450. Hayets considered "The Kiss" one of his most important works. In it, he tried to combine such properties of Italian romanticism as naturalism and close attention to sensual love, with the ideal of the Risorgimento - patriotism. In the characters of the painting, Hayez sought to show the nascent Italian nation. So he combines personal love with love for the homeland in one plot.
