OriginalThe Kiss by Edvard Munch, an 1897 realization of the motif of two people kissing each other. In this oil painting on canvas, their bodies merge, fuse to become one, which has been interpreted as symbolizing both unity and a loss of identity.
Reason
High quality scan of this interesting painting. A symbolist painting, with a dreamy quality representing one of Munch primary motif, a couple kissing, painted with fluid brushstokes, almost entirely held in dark colors, except for the small silvery triangle of the window.
