In this episode of “Closer Look,” Cheyenne Willis, Ayesha Bulchandani Education Intern, examines Paolo Veronese’s “Choice Between Virtue and Vice,” on display on the third floor of Frick Madison. Cheyenne explores the morals implied by this allegorical scene, the myths that inspired it, and the aesthetic choices of the artist including the precious pigments he used. This is the final episode in a series of three, featuring the Education Department’s 2023 summer interns each taking an in-depth look at one object in our collection.
