The Kiss (French: Le Baiser) is an 1882 marble sculpture by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The embracing nude couple depicted in the sculpture appeared originally as part of a group of reliefs decorating Rodin's monumental bronze portal The Gates of Hell, commissioned for a planned museum of art in Paris. The Kiss was inspired by the love affair between two real people named Paolo and Francesca. Their tragic story was retold in Dante's epic poem Inferno. Rodin depicted the lovers at the moment of their first kiss.
This carving, portraying Rodin Ruby the Kiss has been carved from ruby, sourced from Tanzania.
