Artista: Marie-Guillemine Benoist
Siglo XVIII · Francia
Colección: Marie-Guillemine Benoist
Marie-Guillemine Benoist's Neoclassical work, "Innocence between Vice and Virtue," is a powerful moral allegory capturing the struggle for the human soul. Here, Innocence, dressed in white, stands at a crossroads, contested between seductive Vice on the left and protective Virtue, who shields her with her blue mantle. The theatrical composition, idealized figures, and vibrant color palette are distinctive of the Neoclassical style, emphasizing the ethical dilemma in an idealized classical landscape.
