The Kiss

In Francesco Hayez' The Kiss everythings is said and and

nothing else seems of importance. When yesterday France

and Italy had been fighting against eachother today a young

couple can break the order. The Kiss is unifying them and

makes them forget the rivaleries of before.

After the French Revolution, new reforms had trickled down

into the deepest corner of Northern Italy where some voices

welcomed, others instead expelled revolutionary dreams from

their ideas...should Italy become a servant of French caprices

or should they bow down to 1789's changes?

Whatever way Italy will take, these young hearts already found

theirs, unified and absorbed into the deepest passion, a moment

of peace and the inner desire to simply kiss...
