"Unveiling the Mysteries of 'Roue': From Tarot Cards to Ancient Chariots" Step into a world where destiny spins like the Wheel of Fortune, as depicted in the mesmerizing Tarot Card 10 - La Roue de Fortune. This captivating symbol has been woven through history, leaving its mark on various realms. Imagine witnessing the reconstruction of a chariot wheel discovered at the tomb of a Princess of Vix. A testament to ancient craftsmanship and elegance, this artifact transports us back in time, reminding us that even wheels hold stories untold. Delve further into artistic interpretations and find yourself captivated by an engraving titled "Supplice de Desrues. " Here, we witness a chilling display as punishment takes form on the infamous roue en place de Greve. Bonnard's artistry immortalizes this dark chapter in history. Intriguingly contrasting with darkness is Marion Hood's portrayal as an actor-singer in Ruy Blas burlesque. The essence of entertainment intertwines with fortune's whimsical nature, showcasing how life can be both unpredictable and full of laughter. La Fontaine's fables bring forth yet another facet: "The fortune and the child (La fortune et le jeune enfant). " Through his tales, he reminds us that luck can favor anyone – from pauper to prince – for it knows no boundaries or social status. Leonardo da Vinci himself delves into perpetual motion with his masterpiece "Mouvement perpetuel. " As we marvel at his genius mind, we realize that even wheels have secrets waiting to be unlocked by those who dare explore beyond conventional limits. A practical aspect emerges when faced with everyday challenges such as changing a tire ("Changer une Roue"). In this colored photo moment frozen in time, we are reminded that sometimes it is our own hands turning wheels that shape our destinies.
