''Le Baiser'' (The Kiss) is an evocative painting by the French Symbolist artist Eugène Carrière (1849–1906), renowned for his ethereal and monochromatic works that often explore themes of family, intimacy, and the human condition. Created in 1892, this artwork exemplifies Carrière's signature style, which is characterized by a limited color palette, typically in shades of brown and gray, giving his subjects a dreamlike and universal quality.

The painting depicts a close embrace between two figures, whose features are rendered with soft, diffused edges that blend into the muted background, a technique that Carrière mastered to convey the essence of his subjects rather than their precise physical details. This approach not only enhances the emotional depth of the scene but also imparts a sense of timelessness and universality to the intimate moment being shared. The figures are believed to be Carrière's wife and their child, as the artist was known to frequently draw inspiration from his own family life.

''Le Baiser'' stands as a testament to Carrière's preoccupation with the theme of love and familial bonds, which he revisited throughout his career. The painting's composition, with its close cropping and the enveloping embrace, draws the viewer into the private world of the subjects, while the soft, almost monochromatic tones create a feeling of warmth and tenderness. Carrière's work is often associated with the Symbolist movement, as he sought to capture the emotional and spiritual experiences behind the visible world, rather than providing a realistic representation.

The painting is not only significant for its aesthetic and emotional qualities but also for its influence on other artists of the time, including the young Pablo Picasso, who admired Carrière's ability to convey profound emotion through simplicity and subtlety. ''Le Baiser'' remains an important work within Carrière's oeuvre and continues to be celebrated for its poignant depiction of human affection and its contribution to the Symbolist movement in art.
