EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Fortuna with a purse" by Guido Reni, a renowned artist of the Baroque period. Created in 1637, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious Collection of Musei Vaticani in Viale Vaticano, Rome. The image depicts Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck and fortune, holding a purse symbolizing wealth and prosperity. Reni's meticulous brushstrokes bring her to life on an oil canvas from the Bolognese school. The painting beautifully captures the essence of allegory and literature prevalent during that era. Fortuna stands against a backdrop representing the wheel of fortune or rota fortunae, emphasizing her role as both bestower and taker of good luck. Her presence exudes power and grace as she embodies hope for favorable outcomes. Guido Reni's portrayal pays homage to Tyche, another goddess associated with fortune. This artwork serves as a visual representation of their divine influence over human destiny. As we gaze upon this fine art piece captured through photography, we are transported back in time to witness Renaissance craftsmanship at its finest. It is no wonder that such masterpieces find their home within Musei Vaticani - an institution dedicated to preserving humanity's cultural heritage for generations to come.
