Description
Gustav Klimt, The Kiss, 1907–1908, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna
An iconic masterpiece of the Symbolist movement, The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most powerful and universal representations of love. In this celebrated painting, two figures embrace in a timeless moment, wrapped in a golden, ornamented setting. Klimt elevates intimacy through a subtle interplay of contrasts—between decorative richness and the softness of the faces, between passion and tenderness.
The omnipresent gold, Klimt’s signature, gives the scene an almost sacred dimension. Geometric and floral motifs intertwine, evoking passion, protection and harmony. Through this work, the artist celebrates absolute love: a union that is both physical and spiritual.
Inspired by this iconic painting, the bouquet conveys a romantic, delicate and deeply emotional atmosphere. Spray roses and red poet’s carnations embody passion and intensity, while white anemones bring softness and purity. Green bell adds freshness and structure, echoing the protective vegetal motifs found throughout Klimt’s composition. An elegant and symbolic floral creation, designed as a true declaration of love.
This bouquet becomes a floral interpretation of The Kiss: a suspended moment, intimate and precious, perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day.
