EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of the goddess of chance, Fortune (Fortuna), as depicted in Pierre Blanchard's "Mythology of Youth" from 1803. The French School artist beautifully captures Fortuna, who holds the power to determine the fate of human beings and their experiences of good and evil. Standing on a wheel symbolizing life's ups and downs, she exudes an aura of mystery and unpredictability. In this portrayal, Fortuna is seen holding a horn of abundance, signifying her ability to bestow wealth and prosperity upon those she favors. Her naked form represents vulnerability while also emphasizing her timeless beauty and allure. The inclusion of grapes further alludes to fortune being intertwined with nature's bounty. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings out the intricate details in this engraving, showcasing his expertise in capturing mythological characters with precision. This artwork serves as a reminder that luck plays an integral role in our lives; it can bring unexpected blessings or challenges that shape our destinies. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are reminded that despite our efforts to control our own fate, there will always be elements beyond our grasp. It is through embracing both fortune's favor and adversity that we navigate life's ever-turning wheel with resilience and grace.
