Product Description
The Kiss painted between 1907 and 1908 by Austrian, Gustav Klimt, portrays two lovers in a tight embrace placed in an abstract place, and surrounded by golden light. "The Kiss" by Klimt belongs to Klimt's “Golden Period", that is that phase in which, drawing inspiration from the Byzantine mosaics he had seen in Italy (Klimt had visited Ravenna and Venice), gold prevails in his paintings. Klimt's use of gold in his artworks eliminates completely any sense of depth and gives the painting a brand-new light, which seems to exit the canvas. As a puzzle, this image works very well as there is nice color contrast and variety as well as different geometric shapes and the shapes of the two figures to highlight the construction of the puzzle. The most challenging part of this puzzle will be the background but the texture and so changes in color help the location of the pieces. It is a very satisfying puzzle to work on.
