 Though the two depictions were very similar, only Raimondi was prosecuted because his engravings were capable of being seen by the public.Romano did not know of the engravings until Pietro Aretino came to see the original paintings while Romano was still working on them.Aretino then composed sixteen explicit sonnets ("both in your cunt and your behind, my prick will make me happy, and you happy and blissful") to go with the paintings and secured Raimondi's release from prison.
