Love between women as allegories in art throughout history
Italia grati alla Francia, ca. 1862. Vincenzo Vela. France receives a kiss from a liberated Italy, whose broken chains lie at her feet.
Italia und Germania, 1828. Johann Friedrich Overbeck. A friendship allegory that symbolizes the artistic ideals of the two, specifically the espousal of early-Renaissance Italian and German art, in the form of a pair of dark- and fair-haired maidens holding hands.
Allegoria della Giustizia e della Pace che si baciano, 1600s. Attributed to Ciro Ferri.
Carità e Giustizia, 1730s. Rosalba Carriera.
