"The Kiss Sculpture" was inspired by Dante's tale of Paolo and Francesca, lovers entwined for eternity in the Inferno.

This statue was initially part of Rodin's Gates of Hell. Of the many couples sculpted during his tumultuous liaison with Camille Claudel, "The Kiss" is the most sensuous.
The poet Rilke compared it to "a sun that rises and floods all with its light". One of the original castings of Rodin's "The Kiss" resides at The Baltimore Museum of Art. Wrote the poet Rainer Maria Rilke of this masterpiece: "One has the impression of seeing the delight of this kiss all over these bodies.
This sculpture was cast using the lost wax method, and is 100% museum-grade bronze.
