Description

The Painted Kiss A Novel by Elizabeth Hickey In 1886 Vienna, Gustav Klimt's artistic world was a complex tapestry of beauty and decadence. For twelve-year-old Emilie Flöge, this was a city of contrasts, where elegant cafés and grand opera houses stood alongside a thriving artistic community that both fascinated and terrified her. As Emilie's life became increasingly entwined with Klimt's, she found herself drawn into a world of wanton models, dissolute artists, and decadent patrons. Her relationship with the painter would blossom into something profound, yet also fraught with danger and uncertainty. A provocative love story set against the vibrant cultural backdrop of fin de siècle Vienna, The Painted Kiss is a compelling tale that brings to life the artistic and social upheaval of its time.
