Design Toscano Klimts The Kiss 1908 Art Glass

Austrian artist Gustave Klimt was famous for his use of elaborate themes of renewal, erotic love, and death. Depicted here Klimt showcases a pair of lovers entranced, embracing in moments before "The Kiss" surrounded with flowers of stylized meadow. Reminiscent of a byzantine icon, this art glass reproduction captures the original work's depth of color in the rich golds, black, and jewel tones and is representative of all Klimt's work. Art glass, also called stained glass, is created by a unique technique of fusing hand-rolled architectural glass with unique transparent enamels, then kiln fired at temperatures above 1100 degrees Fahrenheit so the colors actually becomes part of the glass.
