homoerotic art history: sacred and profane love (1603) by giovanni baglioni // supernatural 8.17 “goodbye stranger”
giovanni baglioni painted sacred and profane love in response to caravaggio’s 1602 painting, amor vincit omnia (“love conquers all”). amor vincit omnia depicts a young cupid and is considered to be a representation of homoeroticism. even in his own time, caravaggio was well known for having affairs with the boys he painted.
as a rival artist, baglioni aimed to insult caravaggio by painting a warrior angel (sacred love) smiting the same homoerotic cupid seen in amor vincit omnia (profane love). sacred and profane love is an admonishment against caravaggio’s homosexuality and serves as an analogy for christian morality defeating queer love.

So glad I'm more of a jensen fan. I don't know how anyone could defend what Jared did on Twitter like he acted like a child and every time he acts like that his crazy fans make excuses and it's annoying and they should be ashamed at this point. I'm just glad jensen is free to do his own thing he's still amazing
He consistently comes out the classier one because he's a smart and savvy adult. The other one can keep throwing his messy tantrums in the far corner.
