A naked man holding Fortune by the hair and whipping her 1505 - 1515

Marcantonio Raimondi's "A naked man holding Fortune by the hair and whipping her" is a masterful example of the engraver's art. The print, created between 1505 and 1515, showcases Raimondi's talent for detail and anatomical precision. The scene depicts a powerful male figure dominating Fortune, a female figure symbolizing luck and chance. The dynamic composition and forceful lines convey a sense of dominance and control, reflecting the Renaissance era's fascination with human anatomy and classical mythology. The artwork, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to the enduring influence of Raimondi's engravings on the development of printmaking.
