"Sacred and Profane Love" (Italian: "Amor Sacro e Amor Profano") is a celebrated oil painting by the Venetian master Tiziano Vecellio, known in English as Titian, created in 1514. This enigmatic work, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy, has intrigued scholars, critics, and art lovers for centuries due to its complex iconography and the mystery surrounding its original title and purpose. 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 by 279 cm, showcasing Titian's mastery over large-scale compositions early in his career.

The artwork depicts two female figures, traditionally interpreted as personifications of sacred love, symbolized by the clothed woman, and profane love, represented by the nude woman. They are seated on opposite ends of a classical sarcophagus that doubles as a fountain, amidst a lush landscape that transitions from a pastoral setting to a more rugged terrain. The presence of Cupid between the figures, playing with water, adds to the allegorical narrative of the painting, suggesting themes of love's transformative power.

"Sacred and Profane Love" is renowned for its vibrant color palette, a hallmark of Titian's work, and the delicate rendering of textures and light. The contrast between the earthly beauty of the nude figure and the more spiritual, introspective quality of the clothed figure has been the subject of much interpretation. Some scholars suggest the painting explores the Neo-Platonic idea of love existing in both earthly and heavenly forms, while others propose it reflects the Renaissance humanist interest in reconciling classical and Christian values.

Despite its title, which was not given by Titian himself but attributed later, the painting's exact meaning remains open to interpretation, contributing to its lasting allure and significance in the history of art. "Sacred and Profane Love" continues to be a focal point of studies on Titian's early career and on the Renaissance period's artistic and philosophical inquiries into the nature of love.
