It is here where the twelve-year-old Emilie meets the controversial libertine and painter. Hired by her bourgeois father for basic drawing lessons, Klimt introduces Emilie to a subculture of dissolute artists, wanton models, and decadent patrons that both terrifies and inspires her. \u003ci\u003eThe Painted Kiss\u003c\/i\u003e follows Emilie as she blossoms from a naïve young girl to one of Europe's most exclusive couturiers—and Klimt's most beloved model and mistress. A provocative love story that brings to life Vienna's cultural milieu, \u003ci\u003eThe Painted Kiss\u003c\/i\u003e is as compelling as a work by Klimt himself.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44300734103807,"sku":"9780743492614","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_8285daf0-1d0f-49d3-a4f2-5af2f0b5fbaf.jpg?v=1772562901","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780743492614","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
