The Kiss

The Kiss by Leo Manelli is a richly detailed paper edition that reimagines classic romantic imagery through a contemporary street-art lens. Inspired by The Kiss (1859) by Francesco Hayez - regarded as one of the most passionate kisses in art history — the artwork brings new intensity to this iconic moment. A couple locked in an intimate embrace is set beneath urban symbols and subtle graffiti-style details, layering nostalgia with modern commentary. With an image size of 22 x 28", the composition feels immersive and story-driven, while the ornate gold frame enhances its classical undertones. Released as a limited edition of 150, The Kiss is a compelling fusion of romance, art history and urban culture. Size:34 x 40 in.
