About this painting

The story of The Kiss (Munch)

The Kiss is an oil painting on canvas completed by Munch in 1897, part of his Frieze of Life, which depicts the stages of a relationship between men and women. It realizes a motif he had experimented with since 1888/89 and was exhibited as early as 1903. It measures 81 by 99 centimetres and is held at the Munch Museum in Oslo (Wikipedia, The Kiss (Munch)).
