"Il bacio (The Kiss) is an 1859 painting by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez.
The painting represents a couple set ideally in the middle age, embraced while they kiss each other. It is one of most passionate and intense representation of a kiss ever in the history of western art. The girl leans backwards, while the man bends his left leg as to support her movements, while contemporarily putting a foot on the step next to him, so that he could run away any moment. The couple, tough being at the center of the painting, is not recognizable, as Hayez wanted the action of the kissing to be at the center of the composition. In the left part of the canvas shadowy forms lurk in the corner so to give an impression of conspiracy and danger."
Ieri seara iesind tarziu de la serviciu si indreptandu-ma spre casa, pe drumul spre metrou am gasit pe jos,cazut poate dintr-o carte, un semn de carte deosebit. Avea reprezentat pe una dintre fatete acasta pictura minunata. Sa fie un semn? ca nu ar trebui sa-mi pierd inca speranta,care da semne de oboseala,ca voi intalni si eu marea iubire? Ca am sa fiu din nou fericita,prinsa in bratele iubitului meu si daruindu-mi un sarut care sa ma faca sa uit de toate clipele singuratatii? sau este doar norocul unei frumoase intamplari, avand in vedere ca nu aveam un semn de carte pentru cartea pe care o citesc acum!?!
