The Kiss by Auguste Rodin, Bronze sculpture in Tuileries Garden, France
The Kiss stands 181.5 centimeters tall and depicts two figures intertwined in an embrace, demonstrating Rodin's mastery of bronze casting techniques.
The French government commissioned this bronze version in 1888, following its separation from The Gates of Hell project where it originated.
The sculpture represents the tragic romance between Paolo and Francesca from Dante's Inferno, marking a departure from traditional artistic representations.
Visitors can access the sculpture through multiple entrances of the Tuileries Garden, with wheelchair accessibility provided throughout the grounds.
The French law recognizes only the first twelve bronze casts as original editions, with each bearing Rodin's signature and inventory number.
