Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss has come to embody love and romanticism. It depicts an intimate moment between a man and woman; two lovers suspended in time within a brilliant gold background, and a kiss being bestowed upon the cheek of a woman.
What many viewers may not know is that the woman in Klimt’s wondrous work is in fact a real woman from history, with her own name and story to share.
Listen to ArtMuse’s episode on Emilie Flöge, a Vienese fashion designer, independent business woman, forward thinking creative, and the most important person in Gustav Klimt’s life.
