What is love? Can you define? These artists managed to translate the greatest feeling in the world into absolutely perfect works of art!
1. This painting by Gustav Klimt shows that a sweet kiss on the cheek is love.
Kissing is one of the greatest expressions of love that human beings know. A couple, covered by the golden mantle of love, defines the feeling in the painting. The kiss that Gustav Klimt painted between 1907 and 1908.
2. And a reunion after a long absence, isn't it love? Of course.
Rembrandt perfectly described the love of a father for his son, painting the picture. The return of the prodigal son. The scene evokes the moment when a father receives back his lost son, according to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, told by Jesus Christ in the Bible.
3. That kiss that makes time stop and the rest of the world disappear is also love, isn't it?
O Kiss of the Hotel de Ville is perhaps the most famous photo of a kiss that exists and one of the best-selling photos of all time. In the city of love, Paris, Robert Doisneau captured the essence of love: the time that seems to stop when you kiss your loved one.
4. And that shoulder where our chin fits right?
Love is complicity, affection and friendship in this work by American John Singer Sargent, where mother and daughter star in the scene. The work Mrs. Fiske Warren and her daughter Rachel was painted in 1903.
5. And what about that burning kiss that leaves you breathless? Love.
Passion, movement and total surrender emanate from one of Auguste Rodin's most famous sculptures, The kiss.
6. To sleep. To sleep. To sleep. Are you going to say that sleeping isn't love too?
Taking a nap with someone you love is also love. And love, like naps, can happen anywhere. Van Gogh painted the siesta to prove it myself.
7. And there's that platonic love, which you know you'll never have but it's good anyway.
Venus, goddess of love, was born that way, according to Botticelli, in The born of Venus. By painting love incarnate, the ideal of perfection, does he perhaps translate our hope that love is perfect?
