Why it's great
A young man chooses between two paths, one with a goddess and one with a pleasure-loving woman. Lorenzo Lotto painted it in 1505, and the small picture is full of symbols.

Lorenzo Lotto was a Venetian painter born in 1480, who traveled a lot and painted psychologically sharp portraits. His religious paintings have a quirky charm. He died in Loreto in 1556.
