EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Fortune Does Not Watch over All Sleepers from Six Sayings about Fortune, ca. 1560" captures an intriguing allegorical scene from the 16th century. In this engraving by Dirck Volkertsen Coornhert, we see a sailboat floating on the vast sea, symbolizing life's journey. The image features two people aboard the boat - a man and a woman. The nakedness of these figures represents vulnerability and exposes their true selves to the whims of fortune. As they navigate through choppy waves, they are surrounded by fishing nets, highlighting their pursuit for sustenance in an unpredictable world. This artwork provokes contemplation on the concept of fortune and its capricious nature. It reminds us that luck does not favor everyone equally; it is not always watching over all sleepers. Instead, it suggests that individuals must actively engage with life's challenges to secure their own destinies. Coornhert's skillful use of black and white enhances the timeless quality of this piece while emphasizing its symbolic depth. The contrast between light and shadow adds drama to the composition, drawing our attention to the central message conveyed through this powerful visual narrative. As we gaze upon this historical gem preserved at The Met Museum, we are reminded of our shared human experience across centuries – our constant quest for wisdom amidst uncertainty as we sail through life's uncharted waters.
