FORTUNE, WHEEL OF, Burne-Jones, Arthur Balfour, Esq., M.P., London; large upright picture. The goddess Fortune, a tall, sad figure, clad in grayish-blue, stands at left, turning round in a listless way the terrible wheel, on which are bound three nude figures, the laurel-crowned poet, the sceptred king, and the slave, alike cowed and wretched, the victims of a cruel and all-powerful chance. Grosvenor Gallery, 1883.

FORTUNY Y CARBÓ, MARIANO, born at Rëus in Catalonia, June 11, 1838, died in Rome, Nov. 21, 1874. Genre painter, pupil of Palau, of Claudio Lorenzalez, and of the Barcelona Academy, where he won the prix de Rome in 1856. At Rome, which became thenceforth his principal residence, he studied Raphael and made sketches of Roman life. In 1859 he was sent to Morocco by the government to paint the incidents of General Prim's campaign, and during this and a second visit painted a large picture of the Battle of Tetuan, besides making many sketches of Moorish life. In 1866 he went to Paris, where through Zamacoïs he entered into business relations with Goupil; and then to Madrid, where (1867) he married the daughter of Madrazo, director of the Madrid Museum, and studied the works of Velasquez, Ribera, and Goya. With the exception of a year in Paris (1869-70) and three years in Spain, he spent the rest of his life in Rome. His vigorous and original style, correct drawing, and fine colour gained him a great reputation, and the auction sale of the contents of his studio after his death brought 800,000 fr. ($160,000).
