There is little in the painting that evokes the sort of emotion in the viewer that Rosa put into the painting; only after applying knowledge of symbolism does the viewer see Rosa’s angry‚ shaking fist. Completed in 1659‚ Allegory of Fortune

Perhaps in this novel there is no greater theme than that of decay. Decay is evident throughout this work from it’s inception up through the conclusion.
