Visual Analysis of
The piece I am going to be discussing is Giulio Romano’s piece Two Lovers. The piece was painted between 1523 and 1524 the medium is oil on panel transferred to canvas. Giulio Romano was a student of Raphael and in the 1520s, he turned the muscular, dynamic, and classical style he learned while working on his master's frescoes in Rome to the unseemly end of pure titillation. He drew a series of 16 explicit scenes that became known as I Modi or "the positions", because they constitute a visual of heterosexual intercourse. His inspiration was ancient Roman art which explains the muscularity and the heterosexuality. This painting illustrates Giulio Romano's penchant for erotic subject matter.
