Kiss

Mediums: marble.
Location: the Rodin Museum, Paris. France.

This lyrical work is a symbol of love and passion in sculpture. The beauty of naked bodies always attracted the attention of the sculptor, who each time found new sources of inspiration in their bends and lines. Thanks to his unique talent, he was able to capture that fleeting intimate moment when the lips of lovers are about to merge in a passionate kiss. Looking at the sculpture, the viewer wants to involuntarily hold his breath so as not to frighten away the romantic mood. The incompleteness characteristic of Rodin, the sketchiness of the sculpture creates a special atmosphere of trust and tenderness, immersing a couple of lovers in a ghostly haze of feelings.
