"Victory of Sacred over Profane Love" is a renowned Baroque sculpture created by the Flemish artist François Duquesnoy (1597–1643). This allegorical work, crafted in the 17th century, epitomizes the Baroque era's fascination with dynamic movement, emotional expression, and the interplay between the spiritual and the earthly realms. Duquesnoy, who spent a significant portion of his career in Rome, was celebrated for his ability to infuse his sculptures with a delicate, refined style that contrasted with the more dramatic approach of some of his contemporaries.

The sculpture depicts the moment of triumph of sacred love, personified by an angel or a divine being, over profane love, represented by a more earthly figure. This theme was popular during the Counter-Reformation, as the Catholic Church sought to communicate its ideals and moral values through art. Duquesnoy's interpretation of this subject is noted for its harmonious composition and the subtle rendering of textures and forms, which enhance the sculpture's symbolic message.

"Victory of Sacred over Profane Love" is often praised for its exquisite craftsmanship and the way it captures the viewer's imagination through its narrative quality. The work reflects Duquesnoy's mastery of marble carving, a skill that earned him the nickname "Il Fiammingo" (The Fleming) and a reputation as one of the most gifted sculptors of his time, alongside contemporaries such as Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

The sculpture remains an important example of Baroque art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the cultural and religious context of the period. It is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for the insight it provides into the era's ideological struggles and the use of art as a means of spiritual guidance and moral instruction.
