Nemesis, also known as The Great Fortune, is an engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer around 1501-1502. This work is catalogued as Bartsch 77 and Meder, Hollstein 72, reflecting its inclusion in the comprehensive catalogues of Dürer's prints. The engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the complex interplay of symbolism and classical mythology.

The central figure in Nemesis is a winged female, often interpreted as the Greek goddess Nemesis, who was associated with retribution and the balance of fortune. She is depicted standing on a globe, symbolizing the world, and holding a goblet and bridle, which are traditional attributes representing reward and restraint, respectively. This duality underscores the theme of justice and the inescapable nature of fate.

Dürer's technical prowess is evident in the meticulous rendering of textures and the dynamic composition. The figure's flowing drapery and the detailed landscape in the background showcase Dürer's mastery of the engraving medium. The landscape itself is believed to be inspired by the mountainous regions of the Alps, which Dürer visited during his travels to Italy. This blend of Northern European detail and Italianate influence is characteristic of Dürer's work during this period.

The engraving has been subject to various interpretations, with some scholars suggesting that it reflects Dürer's interest in humanist ideas and the philosophical concepts of fortune and destiny. Others view it as a commentary on the social and moral issues of his time, encapsulating the tension between human agency and divine providence.

Nemesis is considered one of Dürer's significant contributions to printmaking, exemplifying his ability to convey complex themes through the medium of engraving. It remains a subject of study and admiration in the art historical community, reflecting the enduring legacy of Dürer's artistic and intellectual achievements.
