Formats
You can select from three formats: Premium Canvas, Framed Canvas, and Archival Paper.
Premium Canvas is an unframed gallery wrap. It uses thick, acid-free archival canvas printed with giclée inks rated fade-resistant for more than 100 years. Each print is hand-stretched over solid wood bars and includes a sawtooth hanger for immediate hanging.
Framed Canvas places that hand-stretched canvas within a wood floating frame. A small gap separates the canvas from the inner edge of the frame, creating the floating effect. It arrives ready to hang with attached wire. You can choose from six finishes: black, white, gold, silver, walnut, and oak.
Archival Paper is an unframed print on heavyweight 340gsm cotton rag paper. This 100% cotton paper features a textured watercolor feel and ships rolled in a tube. Read our /klimt-print-buying-guide/ for help choosing frames and formats for your space.

The Kiss comes in five rectangular sizes:
- 11 x 14 inches
- 12 x 16 inches
- 18 x 24 inches
- 24 x 32 inches

Choose a size based on your wall layout:

- 18 x 24 inches: This balanced size works well over an entryway console or alongside bedroom furniture.
- 24 x 32 inches: This size offers strong visual weight above a dresser or a desk.

Framing advice
Framed Canvas comes in six floating frame finishes that complement the gold and ochre palette of The Kiss:
- Gold: Matches the gold leaf background, creating a unified presentation for traditional spaces.
- Walnut: Dark wood grain provides rich contrast against the luminous robes, fitting mid-century or vintage rooms.
- Oak: Natural light wood highlights the meadow flowers, pairing naturally with Scandinavian or bohemian decor.
- Black: A crisp black border defines the composition and draws the eye to the couple in modern interiors.
- White: A clean white border brightens the dark edges and suits light, minimalist rooms.
- Silver: Accents the metallic platinum leaf, offering a cool contrast in contemporary spaces.
About the painting
Gustav Klimt painted The Kiss between 1907 and 1908 in Vienna, using oil paint alongside gold leaf, silver, and platinum. The square canvas measures 180 by 180 centimeters. It shows a man and woman embracing at the edge of a floral meadow against a flat gold background. The man wears a vine crown and geometric robe, while the woman wears a flower crown and patterned gown. The Austrian government purchased the painting at the 1908 Kunstschau exhibition before it was finished. Today it hangs in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna.

What size print of The Kiss should I get?

Medium sizes like 18 x 24 and 24 x 32 inches work nicely over a console table, desk, or dresser. For a primary statement piece centered above a living room sofa or a bed, select the largest 30 x 40 inch format.
Is The Kiss better on canvas or paper?
The Kiss works well on both materials depending on your framing plans. Premium Canvas and Framed Canvas feature thick, acid-free archival canvas stretched over solid wood bars and arrive ready to hang on your wall. Archival Paper is printed on heavyweight 340gsm textured cotton rag paper with a watercolor finish. Paper prints ship rolled in a tube, which makes them an ideal choice if you intend to use your own custom picture frame.
What frame goes with The Kiss?
A gold wood frame complements the extensive gold leaf background of The Kiss, creating a unified look for traditional rooms. For modern interiors, a black frame establishes a sharp border around the decorative robes. Natural wood finishes like walnut and oak highlight the earthy green meadow and floral motifs. If your space features light minimalist decor, a clean white floating frame keeps the focus directly on the figures.
Can I return a print of The Kiss?
