"The Kiss" By Auguste Rodin
The Kiss is an 1889 marble sculpture by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin . Like many of Rodin's best-known individual sculptures, including The Thinker , the embracing couple depicted in the sculpture appeared originally as part of a group of reliefs decorating Rodin's monumental bronze portal The Gates of Hell , commissioned for a planned museum of art in Paris. The couple were later removed from the Gates and replaced with another pair of lovers located on the smaller right-hand column. This beautiful iconic sculpture is now being exhibited at the Turner Contemporary in Margate.
