The Last Kiss of Romeo and Juliet (Italian: L'ultimo bacio di Romeo a Giulietta) is an 1823 oil painting by the Italian romantic artist Francesco Hayez.

[1][2] It was inspired as much by the 1523 novella by Luigi Da Porto as English writer William Shakespeare's 1597 play Romeo and Juliet, and was a popular success.

It was displayed at the annual exhibition of the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.

Today it is in the collection of the Villa Carlotta on Lake Como.

[4] Hayez also produced an 1830 painting The Marriage of Romeo and Juliet taken from Da Porto's novella.
