Gabriele Castagnola, Love or duty, 1873

This painting depicts the love affair between the Italian Renaissance painter Filippo Lippi (1406-1469) and the novice Lucrezia Buti (1435-?). He used her as a model for one of his most famous Virgin and child, which led them to have sexual relations despite the fact she was reclaimed by her convent (and despite the fact he used to be a priest himself). They eventually married, and this relationship resulted in their son, Filippino Lippi, who became a famous painter following his father.

Libreria Piccolomini - Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, Siena (Tuscany, Italy), founded in 1495

The cycle of frescoes was painted by Pinturicchio, maybe helped by the young Raphael. It depicts episodes of the life of Pope Pius II.

The central sculpture of the Three Graces is a Roman copy of a Greek original that inspired a lot of artists such as Antonio Canova.
