Botticelli's "Loss of Innocence"

Innocence- purity, childlike, modesty, unknowledgable.

Unlike losing something tangible, like a book oe a piece of paper, losing somethkng intangible like innocence often implies that it can not be found or regained.

The woman in the middle of the picture is naked, which implies that she is still innocent and unknowledgable. The other woman is dressed much more modestly and is trying to cover her up with cloth. The picture uses darker colors as oppised to light, pure colors.
