"The Wheel of Fortune" is a notable painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Created in 1875-83, this work is emblematic of Burne-Jones's fascination with medievalism and his commitment to the aesthetic ideals of the Pre-Raphaelites, which included a keen attention to detail, rich coloration, and complex symbolism.

The painting depicts the allegorical concept of the Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, a theme with ancient roots that became a potent medieval and Renaissance motif. The wheel is shown being turned by a blindfolded figure, representing the goddess Fortuna, who arbitrarily changes the positions of individuals on the wheel, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of fate. The figures attached to the wheel are often interpreted as representing different social statuses or stages in the human experience, ranging from the rise to power and prosperity to the inevitable fall into despair and loss.

Burne-Jones's interpretation of this theme is rendered in his characteristic style, which is known for its dreamlike quality and ethereal figures. The painting's composition, color palette, and the use of flowing lines reflect the artist's interest in classical and mythological subjects, infused with a Victorian sensibility. "The Wheel of Fortune" is considered an important work in Burne-Jones's oeuvre, illustrating his intellectual engagement with historical and literary themes, as well as his mastery of the visual language of symbolism.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical execution and its evocative portrayal of the timeless concept of fate's dominion over human life. It remains a significant example of 19th-century British art and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural relevance. "The Wheel of Fortune" is part of the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it is displayed and contributes to the museum's representation of European Symbolist art.
