Hier is voor u, ô jeugd! die 't leezen staag beginnen, Te vinden nieuwe vreugd, / Van goden en godinnen, en wel voornaamst van dien, die de heidens gunste biên 1806 - 1830

This print, made by Johan Noman, offers a visual compendium of gods and goddesses for the youth eager to learn. Note, for instance, the figure of Fortuna. We see her with a billowing sail and standing precariously on a sphere, emblems of chance and the shifting tides of fate. This imagery, deeply rooted in antiquity, reappears across cultures. Consider its echoes in Renaissance art and even modern commercial symbols—a testament to its enduring power. Fortuna is not merely a figure of luck; she embodies our complex relationship with destiny, a concept that stirs deep within our collective consciousness. Her depiction taps into our primal fears and hopes, engaging us on a subconscious level. As Fortuna resurfaces through history, her essence remains, transformed and reinterpreted. She reminds us that certain archetypes never truly disappear, but evolve with each new era.
