About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Simon Floquet, this complex Dutch Golden Age allegory centers on the goddess Fortuna. Balanced precariously on a globe atop a high pedestal, she showers a gathered crowd with coins, crowns, and scepters. The work masterfully captures a range of human emotion—from greed to despair—against a landscape backdrop, serving as a timeless meditation on the whims of fate.
