Evolution of Gustav Klimt Art
Klimt started by painting in the Academic style. In the painting of Greece and Egypt, we see his fascination with the color gold.

Romance Paintings by Various Artist
Romance paintings are pretty similar. Kissing only became more common in modern art. It was rare to see a couple kissing. Then again, kissing was something intimate. A painting was consider prude if it showed behavior commonly seen in the bedchambers. Flirtation paintings became popular in the Rococo period. They got a resurgence in the 18th century.
