What does desanctify mean?
To remove or strip something of its sacred or revered status, often in a way that is seen as irreverent or blasphemous. To make something seem less impressive or less worthy of respect.
Example
"The artist's decision to desanctify the traditional portrait was seen as a bold statement about the nature of art and reality."
