Francesco Hayez began to explore the theme of the kiss early in his artistic career, with his Ultimo Bacio di Giulietta e Romeo (below), which was first exhibited in 1823. The work caused quite a stir because of the passion of the kiss — note Romeo’s hand on Juliet’s lower back pulling her closer to him as they embrace. This was a significant departure from earlier, more chaste depictions of kisses in art.
