Fortunas Segel
Der nun auslaufende Forschungsverbund “Bilderfahrzeuge – Aby Warburgs Legacy and the Future of Iconology” forschte zehn Jahre unter einem Logo, dem abschließend noch einige Anmerkungen gewidmet sein sollen. Es zeigt ein vom Wind aufgeblasenes Segeltuch, das ohne vertikalen Mast oder Bootskorpus an einem Quermast befestigt ist. Die Schlaufen sind verknotet und enden in je einer Troddel. Das Motiv zitiert ein Insignium des Florentiner Kaufmanns Giovanni Ruccellai vom Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts, das als vela gonfia seinerzeit als Symbol des erfolgreichen, prosperierenden Seehandels sowie als Sinnbild der wechselhaften Sturmfortuna gedeutet wurde, um auf das Verhältnis von Individuum und Schicksal anzuspielen
