Il Bacio (The Kiss) was painted by Italian artist Hayez and is one of my favourite classicals...just had to attempt it. It will hang in my home forever.
oil on 18 x 24 linen canvas.
this is very beautiful. You have done an amazing job painting this. Just stunning! I've seen the original, and abviously your colors are a lot brighter and more saturated than the original. But you have done an amazing job!!

your work is fantastic and could go with the old dutch masters like vermeer. Although it is a copy the work still is a beauty of handling the brushOlga Paulescu 13 May 2010
