Painting Description
"The Wheel of Fortune" is a celebrated painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a preeminent figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was an artistic movement that sought to return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Created in 1875–83, this work is a prime example of Burne-Jones's fascination with medieval and classical themes, often imbued with a sense of melancholy and fatalism.
The painting depicts the allegorical concept of Fortuna, or the Wheel of Fortune, which has been a potent symbol of the capricious nature of fate since ancient times. In the artwork, the goddess Fortuna is shown turning the wheel, upon which three figures are bound: one at the top, one descending, and one at the bottom, representing the rise and fall of human fortunes. This visual metaphor powerfully conveys the idea that luck and misfortune are transient and that human destiny is subject to the whims of chance.
Burne-Jones's rendition of this timeless theme is characterized by his signature style, which includes elongated figures, a muted color palette, and a dreamlike quality. The figures are draped in flowing garments, and their expressions are resigned to their fate, underscoring the inexorable nature of the wheel's turn. The painting's composition, with its strong vertical and circular elements, draws the viewer's eye around the canvas, mirroring the cyclical motion of the wheel itself.
"The Wheel of Fortune" is not only a testament to Burne-Jones's technical skill and artistic vision but also reflects the Victorian era's preoccupation with themes of destiny and the supernatural. The work is held in high esteem and can be found in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its evocative portrayal of an enduring philosophical concept.
