This work is a study after The Kiss (Il Bacio), the celebrated 1859 masterpiece by Francesco Hayez, a cornerstone of Italian Romanticism. Painted in oil on canvas, it captures the tender embrace and timeless intimacy of the original, while highlighting the drama of light, fabric, and gesture. By reinterpreting this iconic scene, the piece explores themes of love, longing, and the universal human desire for connection, echoing the enduring legacy of Hayez’s romantic vision.
