"Fortune" (also known as "Fortuna" or "The Nemesis") is a notable engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1501-1502. This work is part of Dürer's exploration of classical themes and iconography, reflecting the humanist currents of his time. The engraving depicts a female figure standing on a globe, embodying the concept of Fortune, which was often associated with the unpredictability of fate and the capriciousness of the gods in classical and Renaissance thought.

The figure is often interpreted as a representation of Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, who stands poised with wings outstretched, holding a bridle and a cup, symbolizing control over fate and the dispensing of both good and ill fortune. The globe under her feet emphasizes the transient and unstable nature of luck and success. In the background, a landscape with a body of water and a sailing ship further underscores the theme of the fickleness of destiny and the vulnerability of human endeavors.

Dürer's "Fortune" is celebrated for its intricate detail and masterful use of the engraving medium, showcasing the artist's skill in creating texture, depth, and movement. The work is also significant for its blend of Northern Renaissance and classical elements, as Dürer was among the first northern artists to deeply engage with Italian Renaissance principles and aesthetics.

As with many of Dürer's engravings, "Fortune" has been subject to various interpretations over the centuries, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and philosophical implications. The engraving is held in numerous museum collections and remains an important example of Dürer's contribution to the art of engraving and the visual language of the Renaissance.
