The Home of "The Kiss"

The Upper Belvedere is home to one of the world's most famous and beloved paintings: Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" (1907-1908). This masterpiece of the Art Nouveau period, shimmering with real gold leaf, depicts a couple locked in a passionate embrace, their bodies enveloped in ornate robes. It is the centerpiece of the world's largest collection of Klimt's works, drawing art lovers from across the globe.

The painting is housed in a dedicated, often-crowded room on the upper floor. Seeing it in person allows you to appreciate the scale (it is a perfect square, 180x180 cm), the intricate detail, and the luminous quality of the gold that photographs can never fully capture. The collection also includes other key Klimt works like "Judith," offering a deep dive into the Viennese Secession movement he led.
