The original masterpiece was created in 1907-08. Today it has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection. The painting depicts a couple surrounded by a gold blanket and ornaments sharing a moment of shear passion - the perfect kiss. In the oil and gold masterpiece, the man appears standing as he holds in his arms the kneeling woman. The two seem to be positioned on a flower field, kissing, totally engaged with one another. The woman seems to be following the lead of her partner, but is not taking an active part. The patterns of the man are mostly black and white rectangles, while the woman is engulfed in flowers. The identity of the people depicted in this oil painting is not exactly clear; some suggest that it is Klimt himself and his beloved partner, Emilie Floge. However, that is sheer speculation as Klimt made it a point never to paint himself. Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most innovative and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. Influenced by European avant-garde movements represented in the annual Secession exhibitions, Klimt's mature style combines richly decorative surface patterning with complex symbolism and allegory, often with overtly erotic content.

Now this IS romance. Two people very much in love! You couldn’t get a breath of air between them and wouldn’t want to. Gorgeous colors and patterns for which Klimt is know. The detail is superb. You can almost feel the heat. The very reason I chose this particular version ( the close-up but not too close), not “the full view” although I do like that one too. I have had so many compliments on this painting. The texture is outstanding and lighting and feel are just perfect. I can’t imagine not having it hanging in my home.

I could not find any similar companies in the UK to source such a beautiful replica painting. The contacts at Overstock Art have been so helpful, and a genuine pleasure to deal with. I was impressed with the super safe packaging, and the ultra-fast speed of delivery from the US to the UK. I can't wait to see my wife's reaction on her birthday when she sees her all time favourite painting hanging on the wall :o) Pros: Extremely high quality replica painting, A1 artist! Really nice quality canvas, with vibrant colours. Delivery was fast, and packaging very tough. Brilliant price for a gift that will last a lifetime. Cons: struggling to think of anything! ...Nothing, Zilch, Nada!

I loved the paintings detail and it's vibrant colors. I thought that it looked exactly like the picture on the website. I was a little hesitant at first, since I had never ordered from Overstock Art, but I am sure I will be ordering again. Pros: Vivid Colors, Great Detail
