Description: The Kiss originally represented Paolo and Francesca, two characters borrowed, once again, from Dante's Divine Comedy: slain by Francesca's husband who surprised them as they exchanged their first kiss, the two lovers were condemned to wander eternally through Hell. Rodin's The Kiss is a sculpture of two naked lovers in a passionate embrace. The sculpture was originally titled Francesca de Rimini and was intended to be part of The Gates of Hell, an unfinished portal for a museum that was never built. However, Rodin removed it from The Gates of Hell in 1886 because he felt it was out of place with the overall theme. The public and critics perceived the sculpture as an allegory and it became known as The Kiss. The earliest cast of The Kiss is in the collection of the Muse Rodin in Paris, which is located in the Htel Biron, the sculptor's former Paris studio. This beautiful vintage sculpture depicts the famous Auguste Rodin's "The Kiss" in a unique medium-sized ceramic and porcelain version by Esco Products. The artwork showcases the themes of love, people, romance, and kiss, making it a perfect addition to any art collection. This licensed reproduction is a must-have for any admirer of Rodin's work and those who appreciate the beauty of romantic art. The sculpture is a great representation of the artist's skill and creativity, and it is sure to add a touch of elegance to any room.
