Description
"Fortune Turning the Wheel," an illustration from c.1460-1470. On the right, Fortune, personified as a beautiful woman, spins her wheel, which represents the changes she brings about in the lives of everyone from kings (currently at top) to paupers (at bottom). A simple turn of the wheel can bring a king low and raise a beggar. In the medieval view, ever-shifting Fortune should be ignored in favor of eternal truths.
