EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Wheel of Fortune" a mesmerizing piece from the mid-15th century manuscript of Troy Book by John Lydgate. Created by an anonymous artist, this gothic masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of John Rylands University Library. The image depicts the allegorical concept of fortune and its ever-changing nature. At the center stands a magnificent wheel, representing life's unpredictable twists and turns. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this medieval artwork to life, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. Surrounding the wheel are various figures symbolizing different aspects of fortune. From kings to beggars, they all experience their own rise and fall as dictated by Fortuna's whimsical hand. This portrayal reflects both the fascination with mythology during that era and society's preoccupation with fate.

Her inclusion adds an intriguing layer to this already complex composition. As a fine example of illuminated art on parchment, this miniature painting offers a glimpse into the Middle Ages' artistic heritage. Its delicate watercolor strokes showcase meticulous attention to detail while capturing the essence of Lydgate's literary work. Overall, this remarkable photograph invites viewers into a world where myth meets reality through stunning visual storytelling—a true testament to humanity's enduring fascination with both literature and art throughout history.
