The Wheel of Fortune
by BURNE-JONES, Edward, Oil on canvas, 200 x 100 cm
Burne-Jones began this painting in 1875 and completed for his exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery in London in 1883, developing one of the motifs of the predella of a polyptych depicting The Story of Troy, much of which was only roughed out.
This painting is an Italianate work that celebrates the artist’s passion for Michelangelo.
