? ‘The Kiss’ is arguably Auguste Rodin’s most famous work, captured here in a great photo by @holdthechilli. Made in 1882, the sculpture is often thought of as a romantic masterpiece, but its true origin is a little more sinister. It depicts lovers Paolo and Francesca from Dante’s poem ‘Divine Comedy’. Dante meets the lovers Paolo and Francesca in his travels around hell. They had been murdered by Francesca’s husband (Paolo’s brother) after he discovered the lovers together. The sculpture sees them at the moment just before death, lost in reckless passion. The sculpture was soon detached from this literary reference and became a more general image of a kiss. Rodin’s masterful composition captures the essence of his models in a passionate and private moment.
