In Crayer's poignant painting, "The Repentant Mary Magdalene, " we witness redemption amidst remorse for past misdeeds. Veronese presents us with a young man torn between virtue and vice, reminding us of our constant struggle to make righteous choices. Vouet's allegory of wealth raises questions about how money can corrupt our souls if not used wisely.
