"Sacred and Profane Love" is a renowned oil painting by the Venetian master Tiziano Vecellio, commonly known as Titian, created circa 1514. This enigmatic work, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, is celebrated for its intricate symbolism and the juxtaposition of spiritual and earthly love, as suggested by its title. The painting was commissioned by Niccolò Aurelio, a secretary to the Council of Ten in Venice, to celebrate his marriage to Laura Bagarotto. It measures 118 cm × 279 cm (about 46.5 in × 110 in).

The artwork depicts two female figures, one clothed in sumptuous Renaissance attire and the other semi-nude, seated at the ends of a stone sarcophagus that doubles as a water trough. The clothed woman, often interpreted as representing the bride Laura Bagarotto, is adorned with jewels and fine fabrics, symbolizing earthly, or profane, love. The semi-nude figure, on the other hand, is thought to embody sacred love; her nudity signifies purity and divine love, unadorned by material possessions. Between them, a small winged boy, identified as Cupid, stirs the water within the sarcophagus, suggesting the intermingling of the sacred and the profane.

The background of the painting is divided into two contrasting landscapes. On the side of the clothed woman, the landscape is lush and fertile, while on the side of the nude figure, it is more austere, with a clear path leading to a group of buildings, possibly symbolizing the path to virtuous life. The dualistic nature of the painting has led to various interpretations, with some scholars proposing that it represents the Neo-Platonic idea of love ascending from the earthly to the divine.

Titian's masterful use of color and composition has been widely acclaimed, with the rich, vibrant hues contributing to the sensuous quality of the painting. "Sacred and Profane Love" remains one of Titian's most studied works, both for its aesthetic beauty and its complex iconography, which continues to intrigue art historians and enthusiasts alike.
