EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, dated circa 1502, presents a striking image of The Great Fortune, a fusion of the Greek goddess Nemesis and the Roman goddess Fortuna. The intricate design, created by the renowned artist Albrecht Dürer, masterfully combines the dual aspects of divine retribution and victory and fortune. Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution, is depicted as a woman with a serene expression, holding an apple in her left hand and a rudder in her right. The apple symbolizes the bait that lures mortals into complacency before delivering retribution. The rudder represents her power to steer the course of fate. Fortuna, the goddess of victory and fortune, is shown as a woman standing on a rotating globe, her face veiled to signify the unpredictability of fortune. She holds the wheel of fortune, which symbolizes the cyclical nature of good and bad fortune. The fusion of these two goddesses highlights the interconnectedness of fortune and retribution. The image serves as a reminder that fortune can be fleeting, and those who become complacent or arrogant may face the consequences. This exquisite print, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to Dürer's artistic mastery and his deep understanding of the complexities of human nature. The intricate details, bold lines, and rich contrasts make this a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
