Gabriele Castagnola, Love or duty, 1873

This painting depicts the love affair between the Italian Renaissance painter Filippo Lippi (1406-1469) and the novice Lucrezia Buti (1435-?). He used her as a model for one of his most famous Virgin and child, which led them to have sexual relations despite the fact she was reclaimed by her convent (and despite the fact he used to be a priest himself). They eventually married, and this relationship resulted in their son, Filippino Lippi, who became a famous painter following his father.

Dhammapada 166

Let no one forget his own duty for the sake of another's, however great. 

Let a man, after he has discerned his own duty, be always attentive to his duty.
