This Italian Renaissance painting is filled with symbolism, but what do they mean? 👇 1. We’ll start with the female figure. Who is she? A representation of Fortune. 2. She holds a huge cornucopia symbolizing a bounty of excess. 3. However, she sits on a bubble. A sign that fortune can “pop” at any moment. 4. The billowing drapery behind her doubles down on this point. Fortune, like the wind, is fleeting. 5. You might notice she’s only wearing one shoe. This means fortune and misfortune. 6. Moving on to the male. Who is he? A representation of chance. 7. He’s seen holding lottery tickets and is about to place them in a golden urn. Has their luck run out? . . 🏷: #art #paintings #arthistory #getty #gettymuseum #GetArtHistory
