Nemesis (the Great Fortune), c.1502. A powerful, middle-aged female figure, nude and winged, is placed on a globe and moves suspended between the clouds, overlooking a broad valley landscape. The latter has been identified as the village of Klausen (Chiusa) in the Valle d'Isarco in the Tyrol. The subject comes from the Latin poem Manto (Mantle) the Italian humanist Poliziano. The poem combines the goddesses of Revenge (Nemesis) and Fortune (Fortuna).
