《天上的爱与人间的爱》是意大利画家提香·韦切利奥于1514年创作的布面油画，现收藏于意大利罗马波尔葛塞美术馆。
画上两个象征着天上与人间的妇女似乎在谈心，她们的区别是：穿衣的代表人间的妇女，裸体的代表天上的女神。一右一左，向内倾的两位女性，形成对称的和谐组合，这是古典风范的主要特征。
画面左端，面目清秀、衣着白蓝色衣裙的少女是美狄亚。她坐在一个大理石水池边，表情略显得有些忧虑和顾忌，好像有什么心事。她的一只手抱扶着水池沿上的黑色瓷罐，瓷罐里放着光彩夺目的珍珠。裸露着丰润身材的爱神，大胆、随意地坐在右边的水池沿上，与矜持的美狄亚形成了鲜明的对比。她一头金黄色的头发飘在脑后，面向美狄亚，神情淡雅、闲适，好像正在说服美狄亚似的。她的左手托着一个小瓶，里面冒着青烟。在她们的中间，虎头虎脑的小爱神丘比特，正在嬉戏水池里的玫瑰花，一副心不在焉、悠然忘我的神态。这一侧面的背景是典型的意大利田园风光，越过近处枝叶繁密的小树，左边远方的古城堡和右边远方的湖泊以及中世纪的塔式教堂历所在目。似乎还是夕阳西照的时候，天地笼罩着夕阳的余晖，远天上流云飞渡，彩霞飘舞，圣洁而美丽。
创作背景
《天上的爱与人间的爱》取材于希腊神话中的一则故事：为夺回被叔父霸占的王位，伊阿宋要去阿尔喀斯夺取天神的圣物金羊毛。爱神阿弗洛迪忒使阿尔喀斯的公主美狄亚对英雄伊阿宋一见倾心。该画作就表现了爱神正劝说美狄亚，要她帮助伊阿宋夺取金羊毛的情景。
艺术鉴赏
对于这幅图画的寓意，人们众说纷纭。有人认为画中的美狄亚代表的是世俗的爱情，这种爱如同她手中把玩的珍珠一样，华贵无比却最终会化作虚无。而阿弗洛迪忒代表神圣的上帝之爱，这份爱热烈而永恒，就如同她手中小瓶里源源不断冒出的青烟一样。也有人认为，画面表达的是裸体的阿弗洛迪忒在劝说美狄亚和那个希腊英雄伊阿宋私奔，表达了画家对人间自由爱情的向往和歌颂，也是对中世纪禁欲主义的反抗。还有一种说法认为，这幅画是画家送给新婚朋友的礼物，画中衣着华贵的女子就是新娘，表达了画家对朋友的真诚祝福，寓意他们既能把握世俗的人间之爱，也能保持心灵上的神圣之爱。
画家高超的色彩运用技巧在这幅画中体现得淋漓尽致。白蓝色衣裙的美狄亚，搭配以鲜红的衣袖，避免了颜色的单调和呆板，使人物显得楚楚动人。耀眼、热烈的褐红色裙衫衬托着阿弗洛迪忒米黄色的手臂，使画面显得均衡、稳重。而白色的丝裙和富有弹性的肉体在太阳余晖的照耀下，散发出摇魂荡魄的光辉，给人强烈的视觉冲动。整个画面的色调柔和而浓重，画中人物与周围的树木山水、落日彩霞交相呼应、水乳交融，达到了亦真亦幻的艺术效果。
画中人物取材于古希腊神话故事，裸体的美神阿弗洛迪忒丰腴健美，艳红色的披巾村托着白皙丰满的肉体，头和腰身稍向右倾构成柔美的曲线，配合着关注而又慈爱的神情，充满了女性的母爱与柔情，既是美的化身，也是神圣爱情的化身。左侧着衣的美妇则是美狄亚，她代表被人间的爱包围的女性。她身穿华贵的白色裙袍，右肘露出的红色内衣与阿弗洛迪忒的红披巾相互呼应。她的美貌中透露出傲慢和坚定，平静的外表下隐藏着一颗矛盾的心，正是执著的爱着而又遭到冷遇的坚强女性的写照，威尼斯画家喜欢在优美的大自然景色的衬托下表现充满活力的人体美，她们坐在石雕的水槽上，小天使正在嬉戏玩水，大自然和古典建筑显得华丽庄严，深绿色的草地和树木将人物衬托的明亮夺目，呈现出一种牧歌式的情调。
后世影响
提香在作品中充分表现出对人体美和自然美的歌颂，这对进一步冲破中世纪教会禁欲主义的束缚，使美术面向现实生活，具有重要的进步意义
名家点评
中国美术家协会会员、国家二级美术师杨永胜：这幅画向人们展示了一种让人如痴如醉并带有梦幻般的美丽。

--------Introduction in English--------
"Love in heaven and love in earth" is a oil on canvas created by Italian painter titian vechelio in 1514, which is now collected in bolgasse art museum in Rome, Italy.
Painting on two symbols of heaven and earth women seem to talk, their differences are: dressed on behalf of the earth's women, naked on behalf of the goddess of heaven. Two women, one right, one left, leaning inward, form a symmetrical and harmonious combination, which is the main characteristic of classical demeanor.
At the left end of the picture, the girl in white and blue dress is Medea. She was sitting by a marble sink with a slightly worried, scruffy expression, as if something were bothering her. One of her hands held the black China pot on the edge of the sink, its glittering pearls. The naked goddess of love, with her plump figure, sits boldly and casually on the edge of the pool on the right, in sharp contrast to the reserved Medea. She had blond hair behind her head and was facing Medea with a quiet, relaxed look, as if she were trying to persuade her. In her left hand was a small, smoking bottle. In the midst of them, Cupid, the headstrong and headless Cupid, was playing among the roses in the pool, with an absent, self-absorbed air. The background on this side is a typical Italian idyllic scene, beyond the dense trees nearby, with the ancient castle on the far left, the lake on the far right and the tower church calendar in the middle ages. Seems to be the setting sun in the west, heaven and earth covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, far sky clouds flying, rosy clouds dancing, holy and beautiful.
The creation background
"Love in heaven and love in earth" is based on a story in Greek mythology: in order to regain the throne occupied by his uncle, Jason would go to arcaeus to seize the sacred golden fleece of the god of heaven. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, made Medea, the princess of arcaeus, fall in love with Jason, the hero. The painting shows love persuading Medea to help Jason capture the golden fleece.
Art appreciation
Opinions vary as to what the picture means. Some people believe that Medea in the painting represents secular love, which, like the pearls she holds in her hands, is extremely luxurious but eventually turns into nothingness. And Aphrodite represents the divine love of god, as passionate and eternal as the smoke from her vial. Some people also think that the picture expresses the naked avodete persuading Medea to elope with the Greek hero Jason, which expresses the painter's yearning and praise for the free love in the world, as well as the resistance to medieval asceticism. Another theory holds that this painting is a gift from the painter to his newly married friends. The woman in the picture is the bride, which expresses the painter's sincere blessing to his friends, implying that they can not only grasp the earthly love, but also maintain the sacred love in the soul.
The artist's brilliant use of colour is vividly shown in this painting. The Medea of white and blue dress is matched with red sleeves to avoid the monotony and rigidity of color and make the figure appear lovely. Dazzling, enthusiastic maroon skirt unlined upper garment is foiling the arm of afodete beige, make the picture appears balanced, sedate. And the silk skirt of white and bouncily flesh fall in the illuminate of sun afterglow, send out the brightness of swing soul swing soul, give a person intense visual impulse. The tone of the whole picture is soft and thick. The figures in the painting echo and blend with the surrounding trees, landscapes, sunset and rosy clouds, achieving an artistic effect that is both real and unreal.
Characters in the painting originated from ancient Greek mythology, the beauty of naked god Flo di te well-developed fitness, yan village in white and red shawl plump body, head and waist slightly to the right constitutes feminine curves, with the concern and love, is full of women's maternal love and tenderness, is not only the embodiment of beauty, is also the embodiment of divine love. The woman on the left is Medea, who represents the woman surrounded by human love. She was wearing a gorgeous white gown, and the red undergarment that showed from her right elbow echoed the red shawl of avodete. Show pride in her beauty and firmness, under a calm appearance hides a heart of contradictions, it is persistent in love with a cold reception and strong women, Venetian painters like against the background of the beautiful natural scenery performance dynamic human body beauty, they sat on a stone sink, playing the little angel is playing with water, nature and classical architecture looks gorgeous solemn, green grass and trees foil characters of bright is dazzing, presents an idyllic emotional appeal.
