My favourite painting

This painting is called "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt and it is probably his most famous work. He was born in Austria on 1862. He is a symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau movement. His primary subject was the female body and his works are marked by the eroticism. I like very much this painting in particular, because I think that is very romantic and the couple's kiss is beautiful and sweet. Besides, it have many details as the rectangular shapes over the man, while the woman is covered with flowers and an elegant gold that covers and shelters to them.
