"The Wheel of Fortune" (1875-83) is a compelling and evocative painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a preeminent figure of the Pre-Raphaelite movement in the late 19th century. This artwork, steeped in the rich traditions of classical mythology and medieval allegory, embodies the transient nature of fortune and human fate. Burne-Jones, known for his fascination with mythological and medieval themes, explores the concept of the wheel of fortune, a symbol that has been used throughout history to represent the unpredictable and changing nature of life.

Measuring 199.4 cm in height and 100.3 cm in width, this vertically oriented painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allows for the intricate detailing and luminous quality characteristic of Burne-Jones's work. The composition is centered around the figure of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune, who stands blindfolded as she turns the large wheel beside her. Atop the wheel sits a king, symbolizing the peak of power and prosperity. However, his precarious position suggests the imminent change in his fortunes, highlighting the theme of the inevitable decline that follows success. The figures ascending and descending on the wheel further illustrate the cyclical nature of fortune, where those at the bottom can rise to the top, and those at the top can fall.

"The Wheel of Fortune" is notable for its rich symbolism, meticulous craftsmanship, and the emotional depth it conveys. Burne-Jones's use of color, composition, and form brings a dreamlike quality to the painting, inviting viewers to reflect on the themes of fate, power, and the human condition. This work is a testament to Burne-Jones's mastery of narrative painting and his ability to imbue his subjects with profound philosophical and emotional significance.

As a key work in the oeuvre of Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, "The Wheel of Fortune" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and public admiration. It is celebrated not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its rich layers of meaning and its place within the broader context of 19th-century art. Through this painting, Burne-Jones contributes to the enduring fascination with the concept of fortune and the human desire to understand and interpret the forces that shape our lives.
