FORTUNE, Guido Reni, Accademia di S. Luca, Rome; canvas, H. 4 ft. 11 in. × 4 ft. 3 in. Fortune personified by a female figure, nude, with light drapery floating from her shoulders; she holds in her left hand a kind of purse from which gold pieces drop, and in her right a sceptre and palms. Under her feet is the world, and from behind a winged boy grasps her hair, which floats in the wind. In some copies Fortune bears instead of a purse a crown. Carried to Paris in 1796; returned in 1815, and in Vatican until 1826.—Filhol, vi. Pl. 397, Musée français, i.; Landon, viii. Pl. 32.

Fortune, Guido Reni, Accademia di S. Luca, Rome.

FORTUNE CHASE (Jagd nach dem Glück), Rudolf Friedrich Henneberg, National Gallery, Berlin; canvas, H. 6 ft. 3 in. × 12 ft. 6 in. A youth, in the costume of a German nobleman of the 16th century, chases on horseback the phantom of Fortune, who flees before him strewing gold in the path and holding up a crown; the Devil, who accompanies him, changes into Death, and with a scornful grin unfolds his flag; at a bridge leading over a ravine lies the youth's guardian angel, over whom he has ridden, hiding her face on the ground; in background, beyond the ravine, the battlements of a mediæval town.

By Michelangelo da Caravaggio, Louvre; canvas, H. 3 ft. 3 in. × 4 ft. 3 in. A gypsy holding the right hand of a young man elegantly clad, who appears to listen attentively. Bellori says that Caravaggio painted this picture to prove that one can be a good painter without having studied the antique and Raphael, his theory being that the exact imitation of nature should be the sole aim of art. Collection of Louis XIV. Engraved by E. Audran.—Villot, Cat. Louvre; Filhol, viii. Pl. 537; Cab. Crozat, ii. Pl. 93.
