Time Saving Truth from Falsehood and Envy


This famous painting was finished by François Lemoyne (1688-1737) one day before he had committed suicide. Just one question: where's Envy?

  4. I think Envy is the one in the front, with the mask. Envy makes you lie and deceive and pretend to be someone else?
    I think falsehood, or evil, is the blurry one, just because evil is something dark and distinctive.

    1. I beg to differ. The one in front is holding a mask, indicating falsehood.
