The Women-Hater's Lamentation
This illustration is from an English broadside ballad, printed on a single sheet of paper. The picture accompanies a set of satirical verses. The first of the three panels shows two men attempting suicide after being arrested for sodomy, the middle depicts two men embracing, and the third shows a hanged man being cut down.
Jupiter Kissing Ganymede
This fresco depicts the Roman god Jupiter kissing his mortal lover Ganymede. Painted as an imitation of an ancient Roman fresco, it was created to fool archeologist and art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann, due to his enthusiasm for homosexual love and themes.
