Heavenly Love and Earthly Love

by BAGLIONE, Giovanni, Oil on canvas, 183 x 121 cm

This painting was made in competition with Caravaggio’s Amor Victorious, but it is characteristic that Baglione’s painting was later considered a Caravaggio.

Baglione depicted an angel in full armour, which Orazio Gentileschi had criticized. This angel is shown chastising a boy Cupid, painted in Caravaggio’s style, with a sword of light.
