The painting was done in 1520 by the artist Titian who lived during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries from 1477 until 27 August 1576 and shows cupid with his hand upon a wheel Fortune wheels have been used in their various itterations throughout history. They represent what we might call luck or chance. Cupid was the greek god of love, represented in many paintings and sculptures as a cherub wielding a shortbow. You could speculate that the reason for cupid to be portrayed next to a fortune wheel is because some people are fortunate in love while others are not. In this painting Cupid with his wheel is really asking you "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
