Allegory of Virtue and Vice | Lorenzo Lotto | 1505

Allegory of Virtue and Vice (c. 1505) by Lorenzo Lotto is a symbolic Renaissance painting illustrating the moral choices between good and evil. At its center, a tree splits into two halves—one lush and green, the other dead and barren—symbolizing the diverging paths of virtue and vice. On the left, a childlike figure crawls towards virtue, where light and serene hills beckon. On the right, a satyr representing vice indulges in music and wine amidst darker, stormy surroundings. The composition contrasts spiritual aspiration with earthly temptation, reflecting the human struggle between moral righteousness and sensual indulgence.
