Il bacio (The Kiss)
1859
19世紀のイタリアにおいて、同国のロマン主義美術を牽引した代表的な画家。のちにミラノのブレラ美術学校の校長も務めた。
In 19th-century Italy, he was a leading painter who spearheaded the country's Romantic art movement.
Known for depicting the inner lyricism and sentimentality of figures on canvas, using extremely precise realistic portrayals based on historical episodes and literary works.
