I never particularly cared much for Klimt and usually despise gold. But then I visited a museum in Vienna. My wife prepared the whole trip and I was mostly going with the flow. Unbeknownst to me, we would see The Kiss that day. It was striking. I mean, the lighting was obviously perfect and the surprise must have helped. But the colors, texture and shapes are just remarkable. I'll never forget making a corner turn and being completely mesmerized. One of those moments that makes you realize the value of the original, the whole Walter Benjamin aura thing.
