Love between women as allegories in art throughout history

Italia und Germania. Johann Friedrich Overbeck (German, 1789–1869). 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. Attributed to Ciro Ferri (Italian, 1634–1689)

Carità e Giustizia. Rosalba Carriera (Italian, 1675–1757)
