Original – The Kiss by Edvard Munch, an 1897 realization of the motif of two people kissing each other. In this oil painting on canvas, their bodies merge, fuse to become one, which has been interpreted as symbolizing both unity and a loss of identity.

Reason

High quality scan of this interesting painting. A symbolist painting, with a dreamy quality representing one of Munch primary motif, a couple kissing, painted with fluid brushstokes, almost entirely held in dark colors, except for the small silvery triangle of the window.

• Support as co-nominator In my opinion, the painting has a certain sinister atmosphere, thanks to the dark coloring and the lack of the peoples identity, comparable with The scream... –Hafspajen (talk) 23:48, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

• Support. It doesn't/shouldn't affect my vote, but I actually like this one. Josh Milburn (talk) 12:20, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
• Support Although the painter artistically drew vague faces in the painting, the French kiss and its posture have given me some particular and excellent feeling. Alborzagros (talk) 11:52, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
