Compilation: Love between women as allegories in art throughout history

Italy Grateful to France. Vincenzo Vela, ca. 1862. France receives a kiss from a liberated Italy, whose broken chains lie at her feet.

Italy and Germany. Johann Friedrich Overbeck, 1828. 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. 

Peace and Justice. Attributed to Ciro Ferri, 1600s. 

Charity and Justice. Rosalba Carriera, 1730s.
