"Fortuna" is a painting by the Flemish Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens, depicting the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, as a beautiful nude woman, standing on a globe and a tumultuous sea. Fortuna is shown in a dramatic pose, her body twisting and turning as she walks across the waves. Rubens’s Fortuna is a powerful and captivating image of the capriciousness of fate. The painting's dynamic composition and vibrant colors showcase Rubens’s mastery of the Baroque style.
