"Fortuna (Bartsch 140)" is an engraving created by the German printmaker Hans Sebald Beham in 1541. Beham, a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance, is known for his intricate and detailed engravings, often imbued with complex allegorical and moral themes. "Fortuna" is a prime example of his mastery in the medium and his engagement with classical motifs.

The engraving depicts Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune and personification of luck, standing on a sphere, which symbolizes the capricious and unstable nature of fate. She is often shown with a sail or a rudder, indicating her control over the unpredictable winds of fortune. In Beham's rendition, Fortuna is portrayed with a sail, emphasizing the theme of life's unpredictability and the transient nature of success and failure.

Beham's "Fortuna" is notable for its meticulous detail and the skillful use of line to create texture and depth. The engraving reflects the artist's deep understanding of human anatomy and his ability to convey complex themes through visual symbolism. The work is also significant for its reflection of the cultural and intellectual currents of the time, particularly the Renaissance fascination with classical antiquity and the humanist exploration of fate and destiny.

The piece is cataloged as number 140 in Adam von Bartsch's comprehensive catalog of Beham's works, which is a key reference for scholars and collectors of Renaissance prints. "Fortuna" remains an important work for its artistic merit and its insight into the philosophical and cultural milieu of the 16th century. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its rich allegorical content.
