EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the famous painting "Sacred Love and Profane Love" by Giovanni Baglione. Created in 1602, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 240x143 cm and is currently housed in the Palazzo Barberini, Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini in Rome, Italy. The artwork depicts a dramatic confrontation between divine and earthly love. At the center of the composition stands an angelic winged figure, symbolizing sacred love. Positioned between Cupid, representing earthly desire, and the Devil himself, this celestial being represents a higher form of love that triumphs over worldly passions. Baglione's work was created as a response to Caravaggio's "Amor Vincit Omnia" with both artists engaging in a heated artistic feud. In this piece, Baglione caricatures the devil with exaggerated features while showcasing his own unique style influenced by mannerism and baroque art. The painting portrays a fierce battle of emotions as Cupid attacks with his bow while being confronted by both divine and demonic forces. The clash between these figures creates tension within the composition as they fight for dominance over human passion. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "Sacred Love and Profane Love" continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. This stunning print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail of Baglione's remarkable work.
