right is a fountain, surmounted by a statue of Cupid astride of a lion; behind her, a servant offers fruit unperceived by her mistress, whose melancholy countenance shows that her thoughts are far away.—Réveil, iv. 274.

Sacred and Profane Love, Titian, Palazzo Borghese, Rome.
LOVE, SACRED AND PROFANE, Titian, Palazzo Borghese, Rome; canvas, figures a little less than life-size. Sacred and Profane Love, or Artless and Sated Love, as sometimes called, personified by two women, one nude, the other clothed in silk attire, seated on the edge of a fountain in a pleasure-ground surrounded by a beautiful landscape; Cupid, behind, between the two figures, plashing in the water. Painted about 1503; described by Ridolfi in 1648, when it was in the Palazzo Borghese; intermediate history unknown. The execution shows how strongly Titian felt at the time the influence of Palma Vecchio.—C. & C., Titian, i. 62; Ridolfi, Maraviglie, i. 257.
