EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the exquisite statue of Fortuna, housed within the Vatican. Taken from Victor Duruy's "History of Rome" published in 1884, this digitally enhanced image brings to life the intricate details and symbolism of this ancient Roman deity. Fortuna, known as the goddess of luck and fortune, is depicted here with her characteristic attributes. Her flowing drapery adds a touch of elegance to her figure while she holds a sword symbolizing capricious fate. The cornucopia at her side represents abundance and plenty, further emphasizing her role as a bestower of wealth. The artist skillfully captures Fortuna's allegorical essence through this engraving. With every curve and line meticulously etched into the print, viewers are transported back to ancient Rome where belief in deities like Fortuna held great significance. This photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides us with a glimpse into history. It reminds us that even in the 19th century, artists sought inspiration from classical mythology and incorporated it into their works. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we can't help but marvel at its timeless beauty and contemplate our own relationship with luck and fortune.
