\"\u201cThe<\/a>The online art gallery overstockArt.com, published today its annual Top 10 list of most romantic oil paintings for Valentine\u2019s Day. Topping the chart for the third year in a row is Gustav Klimt\u2019s sensual masterpiece The Kiss<\/a>. Other artists named on the 2013 Valentine\u2019s Day Top 10 Romantic Oil Paintings list include Paul Gauguin, Martin Johnson Heade, Edward Hopper, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, John Singer Sargent, and Egon Schiele.<\/p>\n

The 2013 Top 10 Romantic Oil Paintings according to overstockArt.com\u2019s statistics are: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “The Kiss,” Gustav Klimt <\/li>\n
  2. “Star Dancer,” Edgar Degas <\/li>\n
  3. “Summer Evening,” Edward Hopper<\/li>\n
  4. “The Artist\u2019s Wife,” Egon Schiele<\/li>\n
  5. “When Will you Marry?,” Paul Gauguin<\/li>\n
  6. “Dance in the City,” Pierre-Auguste Renoir<\/li>\n
  7. “Yellow Daisies in a Bowl,” Martin Johnson Heade<\/li>\n
  8. “Boating on the Seine,” Pierre-Auguste Renoir<\/li>\n
  9. Fulfillment (The Embrace),\u201d Gustav Klimt<\/li>\n
  10. \u201cStreet in Venice,\u201d John Singer Sargent<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More than 3,200,000 page views to overstockArt.com\u2019s Romantic Art Gallery<\/a> in the past year were tracked. According to the click tracking, \u201cThe Kiss,\u201d was the most sought after painting clicked at nearly 10 percent, and Edgar Degas’s \u201cStar Dancer\u201d came in a distant second, garnering three percent of the clicks to grab.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe Kiss\u201d was painted by the Viennese master in 1907. A moment of sheer passion surrounded by a gold blanket and ornaments is seen by observers. A kneeling woman is held by a standing man in a field of flowers, creating a passionate scene between the two. Some say that the two subjects are actually Klimt and his partner, Emilie Floge, but this is speculation because Klimt never painted himself.<\/p>\n

    “Artists throughout time have been inspired by love and romance, many of the world\u2019s greatest masterpieces wouldn\u2019t exist without this inspiration,” said David Sasson, founder and president of overstockArt.com. \u201cOur Romantic Art Gallery features many of these pieces and is one of our most popular gallery\u2019s throughout the year, particularly in February when we always see a spike in traffic. Going to show that people like giving their loved ones these timeless treasures to show their love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
