About the artwork

"Allegory of Fortune" is an artwork by Balthazar Nebot. The catalogue places it in Mythology. The format is landscape. Mythology, a short history: Mythological painting draws on stories from Greek and Roman myth, and on other traditions such as Norse, Celtic, and Hindu narrative. Artists from the Renaissance to the Symbolists returned to myth to explore love, power, fate, and transformation.

"Allegory of Fortune" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard. Mythological scenes add narrative depth and historical atmosphere, which helps them work as a central accent in classic as well as eclectic spaces. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
