This print titled "WHEEL OF FORTUNE" takes us back to the year 1490, showcasing a mesmerizing astrological representation of destiny. The German woodcut masterpiece unveils an intricate depiction of the Wheel of Fortune, with Mars reigning supreme in the highest position. However, as we delve deeper into this allegorical artwork, we notice the sun, Venus, and Mercury ascending on their own celestial journeys. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements from Greco-Roman mythology and medieval symbolism to create a mystic atmosphere. An angel hovers above the wheel while holding an armillary sphere, symbolizing divine intervention in shaping our fate. Men and women surround the wheel representing humanity's connection to this cosmic cycle. As our eyes wander across this enigmatic piece, we encounter intriguing details such as armor-clad figures wielding swords and scythes - emblems of power and mortality. A serpent slithers at the base of the wheel signifying wisdom intertwined with destiny.

The presence of symbols like crowns and helmets alludes to royalty and protection against unforeseen twists that may come our way. Overall, this woodcut transports us into a realm where astrology meets artistry – inviting contemplation about how celestial bodies influence human lives.
