EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century miniature from France depicts the ancient philosophical concept of the Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae. The capricious nature of Fate is illustrated through the image of Fortuna, the goddess of fortune, who distributes both privileges and penalties indiscriminately among the upper and middle classes. The merchant and the lady, represented here, are emblems of the unpredictability of fortune. In medieval and ancient philosophy, the Wheel of Fortune was a reminder of the natural cycle of rise and fall, honor and dishonor, and the inherent uncertainty of life. The intricate details of this miniature, with its delicate lines and vibrant colors, serve to underscore the enduring allure of this mythological concept, which continues to resonate in European history and culture.
