Beech, Beatrice H., and George T. Beech. “A Painting, a Poem, and a Controversy about Women and Love in Paris in the 1530s.” The Sixteenth Century Journal, vol. 34, no. 3, 2003, pp. 635–652. JSTOR, JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/20061527.

Two anonymous and little known works of art from sixteenth-century France, a poem of 1545, "Les Obsèques d'Amour," and a somewhat later painting now in the Louvre, Les Funérailles de l'amour, have in common their portrayal of the funeral of Cupid, the god of love, a theme otherwise unknown at the time and one which has resisted modern attempts to explain its meaning.

The accusation and the assertion of innocence formed part of a controversy that extended back to 1529 and involved both prominent Parisian poets and wives of officials at the court of François I.
