"Sacred and Profane Love" is a celebrated Renaissance painting by the Venetian master Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian, completed around 1514. The work is renowned for its enigmatic subject matter and has been the subject of extensive art historical debate. It depicts two female figures, one clothed and one nude, seated on opposite ends of a classical sarcophagus that has been repurposed into a fountain. The painting's title, which was not given by Titian himself, reflects the contrasting interpretations of the figures as representing the dual nature of love: the sacred or spiritual, and the profane or earthly.

The clothed figure, often identified as representing the profane aspect of love, is richly dressed in contemporary Venetian fashion and adorned with jewels, while the nude figure is associated with the sacred or pure love, possibly an allegorical representation of Venus or a personification of the bride's soul. Between them, the sarcophagus is decorated with reliefs that may hold further symbolic meaning, and the background landscape includes a small figure of Cupid and a pastoral scene that contributes to the allegorical narrative.

Commissioned by Niccolò Aurelio, a secretary to the Council of Ten in Venice, for his marriage to Laura Bagarotto, the painting is believed to incorporate themes of love and marriage. The work is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome and remains one of Titian's most studied and admired paintings, both for its aesthetic qualities and its complex iconography. The precise meaning of the painting continues to be a subject of scholarly discussion, with interpretations ranging from Neoplatonic thought to Renaissance humanist philosophy.

"Sacred and Profane Love" is exemplary of Titian's early mastery of color and composition, showcasing his ability to fuse the naturalistic Venetian style with classical motifs. The painting's influence is evident in the development of Venetian Renaissance art and it remains a pivotal work for understanding the evolution of Titian's artistic career and the broader cultural currents of the 16th century.
