Bearing Cornucopia Fortuna Goddess Good Luck Things Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
Fortuna, the Roman Goddess of Luck: A Timeless Symbol of Prosperity and Hope This print depicts Fortuna, the ancient Roman goddess of luck, bearing a cornucopia brimming with an abundance of good things. Fortuna, whose name means 'she who turns,' was one of the most popular and widely revered deities in the Roman pantheon. She was often depicted as a veiled woman, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of fate. The cornucopia, a symbol of abundance and fertility, is a fitting attribute for Fortuna. According to legend, when Jupiter was born, the god Amalthea, who had reared him as a foster mother, lost one of her horns. Jupiter, in gratitude, transformed it into a cornucopia, filling it with an endless supply of food. Fortuna adopted this symbol as her own, reminding us that she could bestow both abundance and scarcity at her whim. Fortuna's image has captivated the imaginations of artists, writers, and thinkers throughout history. Her presence can be found in countless works of art, from ancient Roman mosaics to Renaissance paintings. Her message of hope and the promise of good fortune continue to resonate with us today, reminding us of the unpredictable nature of life and the importance of staying hopeful in the face of adversity. This exquisite print, from the vast collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and artistic traditions of ancient Rome. It is a testament to the enduring power of myth and the human desire to make sense of the world around us through storytelling and symbolism.
