"The Kiss", one of his most famous paintings, magically draws in viewers of all ages. Turn-of-the-century society is brought alive through the eyes of one of the most celebrated painters of the time. Travel with Klimt through Italy as he discovers the richly gilded Baroque interiors that inspire his paintings. See how he painted his unusual portraits, meet his models, and be swept along by his glorious colors.
