EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Auguste Rodin's iconic sculpture, "The Kiss". Created between 1888-98, this marble masterpiece stands as a testament to the eternal power of love. The sculpture depicts a passionate embrace between two lovers, their bodies intertwined in an intimate dance of affection. Rodin's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of the figures' muscular forms. The male figure tenderly holds his lover, his strong arm wrapped around her waist while she leans into him with complete trust. Their nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and raw emotion, emphasizing the intensity of their connection. Known also as Paolo and Francesca, this sculpture draws inspiration from Dante's tragic tale of forbidden love. It tells the story of Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta, who were condemned for their illicit affair but found solace in each other's arms. Displayed at Musee Rodin in Paris, France, this monumental artwork measures 183.6x110.5x118.3 cm and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Philippe Galard skillfully captures the essence of "The Kiss" through his lens, preserving its allure for generations to come. This print serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries - it transcends time and space to touch our hearts forever.
