EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "The Kiss, 1887" by Theodore Jacques Ralli, we are transported to a world where love knows no boundaries. Painted with oil on canvas, this intimate masterpiece measures 24.2x33 cm and is held in a private collection. "The Kiss" portrays an adoring moment between two lovers who defy societal norms and embrace their forbidden love. The artist fearlessly explores the taboo subject of interracial relationships, challenging the racial prejudices prevalent during his time. The painting captures the tenderness shared between these mixed-race individuals as they exchange a peck on the cheek. Their affectionate gesture symbolizes their unwavering commitment to one another despite facing opposition from society. Ralli's brushstrokes beautifully convey the emotions felt by these lovers, showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing human connection through art. The black background intensifies their embrace and draws our attention solely to them, emphasizing their bond amidst a world that may not fully understand or accept it. This print serves as a powerful reminder that love transcends all barriers – racial or otherwise – and celebrates the beauty found in embracing diversity. It stands as both an artistic triumph and a testament to the resilience of those who dare to follow their hearts regardless of societal constraints.
