The Kiss | Francesco Hayez | 1867
The Kiss (1867) by Francesco Hayez captures an intimate embrace charged with Romantic emotion and quiet tension. Set against a shadowed architectural backdrop, the lovers’ closeness and the woman’s luminous blue dress heighten the sense of urgency and secrecy. Beyond its tenderness, the work is often read as an allegory of love, patriotism, and political longing in 19th-century Italy.
