"The Kiss" is an oil-on-canvas painting with added gold leaf, silver, and platinum by the Austrian Symbolist Gustav Klimt. Painted between 1907 and 1908, it is the highpoint of his Golden Period and depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborately patterned robes.

It now hangs in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna and is considered a masterpiece of Vienna Jugendstil. The Belvedere acquired it shortly after its first exhibition, before Klimt had even finished it, and the painting has rarely left Austria since.
