EDITORS COMMENTS
Fortune Teller" is a captivating etching on paper by the renowned Spanish artist Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo, created in the 19th century. This evocative work of art is currently housed in the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to intrigue and inspire visitors. The image depicts an elderly woman, dressed in traditional attire, perched confidently at a table laden with tarot cards and various objects associated with fortune telling. Her posture exudes a sense of authority and wisdom, as she reads the cards for two intrigued onlookers. The use of black and white in this etching adds to the mysterious and otherworldly atmosphere, while the intricate details and textures bring the scene to life. Mariano Fortuny y Marsal, as he was also known, was a prolific artist and inventor, known for his innovative approaches to both art and technology. This etching is a testament to his mastery of the medium, as well as his ability to capture the human experience in all its complexity. The setting of the image is not explicitly identified, but the rustic furniture and earthy tones suggest a rural or folkloric context. The image invites us to ponder the mysteries of the human condition, the power of the unknown, and the role of the fortune teller as a guide and interpreter of the future. This timeless work of art is a valuable addition to the rich collection of prints and drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the human experience as captured by the masterful hand of Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo.
