"Nemesis" (also known as "The Great Fortune" or "The Large Fortune") is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1501-1502. This work is one of Dürer's master prints, which also include "Knight, Death, and the Devil" (1513), "Saint Jerome in His Study" (1514), and "Melencolia I" (1514). "Nemesis" stands out for its intricate detail and complex iconography, which have been subjects of extensive scholarly interpretation.

The engraving depicts a winged female figure standing on a globe, hovering above a landscape of a town and its surrounding countryside. The figure is often interpreted as an allegorical representation of Nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution, or Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and fate. In her hands, she holds a cup and a bridle, which are symbolic of the gifts and restraints that fate can bestow upon humanity. The stark contrast between the finely adorned figure and the minute, everyday activities of the people below serves to underscore the theme of the capricious nature of fortune.

"Nemesis" is notable for its use of perspective and the detailed rendering of the natural and architectural elements, showcasing Dürer's skill in capturing both the human form and the subtleties of the environment. The print is also significant for its reflection of the humanist ideas circulating during the Renaissance, which often explored the role of fate and the divine in human affairs.

The engraving is held in various museum collections and remains an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art. It continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its thought-provoking imagery, which invites viewers to ponder the philosophical and moral questions that were as relevant in Dürer's time as they are today.
