Abstract

This article is a study, from the viewpoint of Emblematics, of the meaning of the painting by Lorenzo A. Castro The Battle of Actium, 2nd September 31 B.C., in the collection of the National Maritime Museum in London. I interpret the painting based on the allegory of Fortune, which originates in the pictura of an emblem by Alciato. In the painting it is depicted on the figure-head of Cleopatra’s galley, which flees the battle, an episode considered as the turning point in the fate of the famous queen of Egypt.
