''The Kiss'' (Lovers) is a renowned work by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, and is considered one of the highpoints of his "Golden Period," during which he incorporated gold leaf into his paintings. Created between 1907 and 1908, the painting is a square canvas depicting a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by the contemporary Art Nouveau movement and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement.

The painting's subject is timeless and universal: a couple locked in an intimate embrace, sharing a kiss. Klimt's use of gold leaf not only gives the work a striking, shimmering quality but also invokes the sacred and spiritual, drawing connections to the religious art of the Byzantine era. The figures are positioned at the edge of a flowered field or meadow, suggesting a connection to nature and the earthly plane, while the gold hints at something transcendent.

Measuring 180 cm × 180 cm (71 in × 71 in), ''The Kiss'' is executed in oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, a technique that has roots in sacred art and gives the work an otherworldly quality. The painting is notable for its highly decorative style and the use of a mosaic of intricate patterns, which contrast with the smooth planes of the flesh. The male figure is adorned with geometric shapes and swirls, while the female figure, whose face is the focal point of the composition, is draped in flowers.

Housed in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in Vienna, ''The Kiss'' is widely regarded as a masterpiece of early modern art and is one of Klimt's most popular works, symbolizing the apex of his exploration of love, sexuality, and human relationships. The painting's iconic status has made it a symbol of romantic love and has ensured its place in the canon of Western art history.
