The Moment Before the Kiss – The Picture That Was Never Painted

Two young men stand facing each other in an idyllic natural landscape, their lips just a breath apart. The sun bathes their skin in warm light, a river flows through the landscape in the background, trees frame the scene. A moment full of longing, intimacy, and love – painted in the style of the great masters of the 18th and 19th centuries.

But this picture was never painted. It was not allowed to be painted.

This artwork is part of the Gay History Collection – a series that asks the question: What would the old masters have painted if gay love had been socially accepted? What pictures would have existed if artists had been free to paint?

The neoclassical painting style with its warm skin tones, turquoise sky, and romantic landscape recalls works by artists such as Jacques-Louis David or Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. But while these masters celebrated mythological scenes and heterosexual love, gay love remained invisible – forbidden, silenced, repressed.

We paint the pictures that were not allowed to be painted back then.
