In the Middle Ages, the Wheel of Fortune was a famous allegory of wealth’s unpredictability. In these illustrations, Fortune or Chance, often wearing a blindfold, rotates a wheel resembling a small Ferris wheel. The wheel lifts those strict by poverty up from the bottom to the extreme wealth of kings, but it simultaneously drags the wealthy, at the top, back down to the level of beggars. As Seneca wrote, “Every rank in life is subject to change, and whatever befalls someone else could befall you too.” Also, since things swing back and forth, no one should be overly confident when things go well, or give up when things go poorly.
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend and stay safe!!
Peter
