Sacred and Profane Love
''Sacred and Profane Love'' ((イタリア語:Amor Sacro e Amor Profano), also called ''Venus and the Bride'') is an oil painting by Titian, painted c. 1514. The painting is presumed to have been commissioned by Niccolò Aurelio,〔Nadia Gaus 2004〕 a secretary to the Venetian Council of Ten (so identified because his coat of arms appears on the sarcophagus or fountain in the centre of the image) to celebrate his marriage to a young widow, Laura Bagarotto.〔Robertson G. Renaissance Studies, Volume 2, Number 2, June 1988 , pp. 268-279(12) (Honour, Love and Truth, an Alternative Reading of Titian's Sacred and Profane Love ). 〕 It perhaps depicts the bride dressed in white, sitting beside Cupid and being assisted by Venus in person.
==Analysis of the artwork==
Art critics have made several analyses and interpretations, among them are: Ingenious Love and Satisfied Love; Prudery and Love; the wise and foolish virgins;〔Jodra〕 the dressed Aphrodite Pandemos (left) opposite the nude Aphrodite Urania.〔 or that it contains a coded message about Bagarotto's father's innocence.〔 Nadia Gaus notes that while the title might at first lead one to view the left hand woman as the sacred one, further thought leads to the opposite interpretation: the well dressed woman is Profane Love while the nude woman is Sacred Love.〔 The title itself of the painting is uncertain: in 1693 it was listed as ' (Divine love and Profane love).
While the first record of the work under its popular title is in an inventory of 1693, scholars cannot definitively discredit the theory that the two female figures are personifications of the Neoplatonic concepts of sacred and profane love. The art historian Walter Friedländer outlined similarities between the painting and Francesco Colonna's ''Hypnerotomachia Poliphili'' and proposed that the two figures represented Polia and Venere, the two female characters in the 1499 romance. A more recent hypothesis declares the clothed figure to be Proserpine the consort of Pluto, and the semi nude her mother Ceres. They are seated on the Fountain Cyane, while the child is Mercury (Doughton ) 〔Paul Doughton http://www.pauldoughton.com/2011/05/ceres-and-proserpine-sacred-and-profane.html〕 It has been suggested that the scholar Pietro Bembo may have devised the allegorical scheme.
