A kiss between two lovers, signed by an artist who wrote the name as De Godella, sets this painting apart from the many sentimental courtship scenes on the Valentine's Day boards. The signature is the main clue to its origin, and the record offers little else, so the work is best read in the context of its era. Romantic genre scenes like this one were popular with Victorian-era buyers, who favored love, courtship and domestic affection as subjects for both academic and popular painters. The gestures and costume were chosen to signal tenderness and respectability, so they are worth a close look.
