"Der Kuss" (The Kiss) is a renowned oil painting with added gold leaf, silver, and platinum by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. Completed between 1907 and 1908 during the height of what scholars refer to as his "Golden Period," the painting is widely considered one of Klimt's masterpieces and a quintessential example of early 20th-century art. The work measures approximately 180 by 180 centimeters and is housed in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in Vienna, Austria.

The painting depicts a couple locked in an intimate embrace, their bodies entwined in elaborate, flowing robes adorned with intricate patterns and symbols. The male figure is bent over the female, holding her face as he kisses her cheek, while she appears to be in a state of serene surrender, her eyes closed and her arms wrapped around his neck. The background is an abstract, shimmering gold field, which enhances the ethereal and otherworldly quality of the scene.

Klimt's use of gold leaf harkens back to Byzantine art, which he admired, and it creates a luminous, almost sacred atmosphere. The patterns on the robes are highly symbolic, with the male figure's garment featuring geometric shapes and the female's adorned with organic, floral motifs, suggesting a union of masculine and feminine elements. This intricate detailing and the luxurious use of gold contribute to the painting's opulent and timeless appeal.

"Der Kuss" is often interpreted as an allegory of love and the transcendence of human experience through intimacy. It reflects Klimt's fascination with themes of eroticism, beauty, and the sublime, which are recurrent in his oeuvre. The painting's universal appeal and its celebration of love and human connection have made it an iconic image, frequently reproduced and referenced in popular culture. Its enduring popularity underscores Klimt's significant impact on the art world and his role in the development of modernist aesthetics.
