''Bocca Baciata'' is an oil painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, completed in 1859. The title, Italian for "Kissed Mouth," reflects the sensuous subject matter and is derived from a quotation by the 14th-century poet Boccaccio, which Rossetti included in his own sonnet that accompanied the painting: "The mouth that has been kissed loses not its freshness; still it renews itself even as does the moon." The painting marks a significant shift in Rossetti's artistic style, moving away from the elaborate medieval narratives and moral symbolism characteristic of his earlier works and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, towards a focus on beauty and sensuality.

The subject of ''Bocca Baciata'' is Fanny Cornforth, Rossetti's frequent model and lover, depicted as a voluptuous beauty against a lush background. Her direct gaze and the warmth of her flushed cheeks suggest an intimate connection with the viewer, while the handling of color and light reflects the influence of Venetian Renaissance painting, particularly the works of Titian. This piece is often considered the first of Rossetti's "stunner" portraits, a series of works featuring women with strong, alluring features.

Measuring 32.4 cm × 27.3 cm (12.8 in × 10.7 in), the painting is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. ''Bocca Baciata'' is notable for its departure from the moralizing tone of earlier Pre-Raphaelite works and for its role in the development of Aestheticism, a movement that championed art for art's sake. Rossetti's focus on beauty and aesthetic experience over narrative content in this and subsequent works would influence a generation of artists and become a defining characteristic of the later phases of Pre-Raphaelitism.
