"Nemesis (das Große Glück)" is an engraving created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer around 1502. This work is a striking example of Dürer's mastery in the medium of engraving, showcasing his exceptional skill in detail, texture, and composition. The piece is also known by its alternative title, "The Great Fortune," reflecting the dual nature of the figure depicted.

The central figure in "Nemesis" is a winged female, often interpreted as the Greek goddess of retribution, Nemesis, or as Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune. She stands atop a globe, symbolizing her dominion over the world and the capricious nature of fate. The figure holds a bridle and a goblet, which are traditional symbols associated with Nemesis, representing control and the dispensation of fortune or misfortune. The intricate detailing of her flowing garments and the delicate rendering of her wings highlight Dürer's technical prowess and his ability to convey complex textures and forms through the medium of engraving.

The background of the engraving features a meticulously rendered landscape, complete with distant mountains, a winding river, and a small village. This detailed setting not only enhances the overall composition but also situates the allegorical figure within a recognizable and realistic environment, a hallmark of Dürer's work that blends the fantastical with the real.

"Nemesis (das Große Glück)" reflects Dürer's deep engagement with classical mythology and Renaissance humanism, themes that permeate much of his oeuvre. The engraving is also indicative of the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the time, which saw a renewed interest in ancient texts and the allegorical representation of abstract concepts such as fate and justice.

Dürer's "Nemesis" remains a significant work within the history of printmaking, exemplifying the artist's innovative approach to the medium and his ability to infuse his works with rich symbolic meaning. The engraving continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its profound thematic content.
