Support -- High quality scan of a very interesting painting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:11, 10 March 2015 (UTC)- Support Normally I would say: bad crop. But I know the painting itself is like this. And I always wonder why. This is an excellent reproduction of one of the finest paintings. --Uoaei1 (talk) 19:10, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

- Support but this picture really deserves to be seen in the flesh, many different textures and golden reflections and quite big size, and nicely illuminated as well. --Kadellar (talk) 14:01, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Oppose The FP star is not for this kind of works.--Jebulon (talk) 20:50, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- The template atop COM:FPC begs to differ. "Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable: Notable in its own right (check; the painting has an article in 20 or so Wikipedias), Of high artistic merit (check, in my opinion), Of high historic merit, Of high illustrative merit. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose see nothing featurable here. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 08:04, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

- Support -- High quality scan and an utterly FAMOUS painting, by a most famous painter. Austrian painter Gustav Klimt was Vienna's most renowned advocator of Art Nouveau, or, as the style was known in Germany, Jugendstil (sic). If the artist was painting it like this, than it was meant to be like this. And on top of everything it is one of the most famous artworks in modern art history, too. Don't get the above comments. ..."but most importantly he began work on the painting The Kiss, which was to take its place as one of the most famous pictures in the history of art". Check references. Indeed the FP star is for this kind of works. --Hafspajen 14:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
