A Roda da Fortuna nos Dictats de Ausiàs March (c.1397-1439)
The allegory of the Wheel of Fortune is a recurring theme in medieval thought. The notion of fortune was inherited from a double tradition and adapted by Ausiàs March (c.1397-1439) to literary use. We must, therefore, deal with this allegory in the Dictats, by March, and show how the Valencian poet literarily developed the theme of the instability of the Wheel of Fortune in his poems.

My interpretive proposal is to appreciate the images from the musical suggestions that the artist represents, and that the density of the drama of existence in the face of death can be understood more profoundly with the confrontation of the painting’s images with the musicality of the instruments and the sound of scenes.
