Rodin - The Kiss
The marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin entitles The Kiss dates from 1882. It is a life size statue of lovers embracing on a rock. It is apparently quite a sad story; The sculpture, The Kiss, was originally titled Francesca da Rimini, as it depicts the 13th-century Italian noblewoman immortalised in Dante's Inferno who falls in love with her husband Giovanni Malatesta's younger brother Paolo. Having fallen in love while reading the story of Lancelot and Guinevere, the couple are discovered and killed by Francesca's husband. In the sculpture, the book can be seen in Paolo's hand. The lovers' lips do not actually touch in the sculpture, suggesting that they were interrupted and met their demise without their lips ever having touched. Wikipedia has lots more interesting details about Rodin and his work which can be seen ::here:: The photograph was taken on my Canon Powershot G9x camera. I used the following settings; ISO 1250, 1/160, f4, 4.15.445 mm
