Il bacio – Francesco Hayez 1859, originally uploaded by .toffa..

I first saw this painting when I was living with my host mother in Ireland. I thought it was so romantic and sensuous. I love the way he holds her face in his hands as he kisses her. The folds of her skirt is painted with such incredible skill too. They practically pop out of the page.

I’m going to paraphrase Dali when describing Escher. He didn’t just do art with prescision, he was prescision.
