Since Baglione had been trained by Francesco Morelli, a Tuscan artist, most of artwork was a resemblance to Morelli’s style. However, in approximately the beginning of 1600, Baglione was introduced to Caravaggio’s style, and like many other artists at the time, he admired the artist’s work. Thus leading Baglione into participating in the Caravaggesque era, where many artists derived elements of Caravaggio’s work into their own. This includes Divine Love Conquering Earthly Love, which Baglione had created at the time as competition against Caravaggio’s work Love Victorious and Orazio Gentileschi's, St. Michael Archangel. Baglione incorporated some elements of Caravaggio’s into his work in order to surpass him. However, this displeased Caravaggio and resulted in Caravaggio slandering Baglione’s work.Caravaggio made this statement against Baglione’s work including Divine Love:
“Or wipe your arse with themOr stuff them up the cunt of Mao's wife
Because he isn't fucking her anymore with his donkey cock
Pray pardon me, painter, if I do not worship you
Because you don't merit that chain you wear round your neck
And your painting deserves only vituperation.” 
Baglione unveiled his Resurrection altarpiece for the Church of the Gesù on East Sunday of 1603. Shortly after, word started circulating in Rome that Caravaggio and his cronies, Orazio Longhi, Filippo Trisegni, and Orazio Gentileschi, who were disparaging Baglione’s artistic abilities.
These insults lead into a libel lawsuit in the same year, 1603. During the trial, Caravaggio claimed, "I don't know any painter who thinks Giovanni Baglione is a good painter." For centuries, this exact claim tainted Baglione’s reputation and the way his artwork was judged.Baglione stated that the attackers were only insulting him because they were jealous that he had been the one to receive the commission. More generally because his works were much better than Caravaggio’s by stating that the works were, "held in higher esteem than theirs.” During the trial, when Caravaggio was being interrogated, scholars claim that he still proceeded to add to the insults. Smith O’Neil claims that that with this trial, what Baglione was demonstrating is a vendetta towards Caravaggio and to also prove his virtù.Towards the end of 1604, the trial had already ended and Baglione’s Caravaggesque era as well.
