Why is this painting famous?
The international fame of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is due to its having become the most recognizable image of Viennese Modernism and Art Nouveau. The radiant gold, inspired by Byzantine mosaics, makes it instantly stand out in any visual context, which has encouraged its mass reproduction on posters, stationery, textiles, and even jewelry. Permanently displayed at the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, it is one of Vienna’s main tourist attractions. Moreover, its universal theme—romantic love—and its ornamental aesthetic have allowed it to be constantly reinterpreted in advertising campaigns, social media, and pop culture, securing it a lasting place among the most famous works in the world.Discover more famous paintings
