"The Kiss (Lovers)" is a seminal work by Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, painted between 1907 and 1908 during the highpoint of his "Golden Phase." This masterpiece is renowned for its intricate detail, use of gold leaf, and its exploration of themes of love, intimacy, and eroticism, encapsulating the spirit of Art Nouveau and Symbolism. The painting depicts a couple locked in an intimate embrace against a gold, flat background. The man is shown bending down to kiss the woman on the cheek, who, in turn, closes her eyes, welcoming the affectionate gesture. Both figures are adorned in highly decorative robes that are rich in symbolic patterns, which contrast with the simplicity and universality of the act depicted.

The work is executed on a canvas measuring 180 cm × 180 cm, making it almost a perfect square, and is housed in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in Vienna, Austria. "The Kiss" is considered one of Klimt's most popular works and is a prime example of his fascination with the Byzantine imagery, which influenced the luxurious gold and silver leaf techniques that dominate this phase of his career. The painting's composition, with its combination of figurative and decorative elements, showcases Klimt's departure from traditional academic art and his journey towards a more modern and expressive aesthetic.

"The Kiss" has been interpreted in various ways, with some viewing it as a representation of the perfect union between masculine and feminine energies, while others see it as a depiction of the moment of consummate love. The use of gold leaf not only adds a divine quality to the work but also references sacred Byzantine mosaics, thereby elevating the subject matter to a sublime level. Over the years, the painting has become an icon of love and romance, transcending its time to captivate audiences worldwide with its beauty and depth of emotion.
