The painting, measuring 49 x 36 cm, is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. "The Madonna of the Kiss" depicts a celebrated bas-relief of the Virgin and Child located within the San Marco Basilica in Venice. This revered sculpture has been kissed by countless devout believers over centuries, resulting in worn marble that bears witness to their deep piety and belief.
