i adore this painting. the romance! the intrigue! are they secret lovers? are they newly married? is he leaving her for a long period of time, to have adventures in a far-off land? are they running away together?
The Kiss
Francesco Hayez
i feel wistfully romantic when i look at this piece. makes me think of all those beautiful romantic moments in my life.
does this painting make you think of a romantic moment you've had? or does it incite a fantasy? i can see it now--my handsome hubby, in that hat with a feather and a sweeping cape, whisking me away in secret to steal a kiss just before we run away together.
are you as sickeningly romantic as i am?
