Part of the scenes illustrating the “Life of the Virgin Mary” in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, by Giotto, the “Meeting at the Golden Gate” represents the seminal “kiss” scene in Western art. Whether it’s Rhett and Scarlett, Rick and Ilsa, or Lady and the Tramp, they all go back to Giotto’s iconic – and scandalous – image of saints Anne and Joachim smooching to celebrate the news of their impending parenthood! Buona visione!
