The last kiss from Romeo to Juliet, Francesco Hayez

Francesco Hayez (1791 – 1882) was an Italian painter (Romanticism), renowned for his grand historical paintings, political allegories and exceptionally fine portraits. His other painting named “The Kiss” is also very well-kown.

The Triumph of venus, Angelo Bronzino

Agnolo di Cosimo (1503 – 1572), usually known as Il Bronzino, or Agnolo Bronzino was an Italian Mannerist painter from Florence. Around 1546, Bronzino was commissioned to create a painting which has come to be known as “Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time” or “An Allegory of Venus and Cupid”.
This painting is an allegory. It doesn’t represent a scenery from the mythology, but different characters and their relations.

The first kiss, William Bouguereau

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 – 1905) was a French academic painter. He was very famous in his time but today his subject matter and technique receive relatively little attention compared to the popularity of the Impressionists.
