A Statue Depicting An Allegory Standing On The Wheel Of Fortune.
Artist: Clodion. (claude Michel) 1738- 1814.
19th-century bronze sculpture, inspired by Claudion, signed CHAUVIN.
This bronze depicts a merchant allegory on the wheel of fortune, holding in his right hand a cornucopia adorned with a pearl necklace and coins, his left arm outstretched toward the sky, pointing the way to success and hope.
The theme of the Wheel of Fortune dates back to the 11th century, when the top of the wheel represented people who had succeeded and were at the zenith of their glory; on the right, those who were increasingly losing their means, down to those who had lost everything, and on the left, those climbing toward a better future.
