The figure of winged Nemesis – the goddess of retribution – was inspired by a poem by the Italian humanist Angelo Poliziano, who used the bridle to signify the need for restraint and the cup, reward. Nemesis balances on a sphere which symbolises the precariousness of fate. The detailed landscape below has been identified as the Tyrolese village of Chiusa, which Dürer evidently sketched on his first journey to Italy in 1494. Nemesis’s figure was constructed according to the ancient canon of human proportions expounded by the Roman theorist Vitruvius. While the relative sizes of the various body parts are as set out by Vitruvius, Dürer’s ample figure is not classically idealised, but rather exemplifies Northern types.Text © National gallery of Victoria
