    The author discusses the Mantuan fresco's key position in the iconographic 'Nachleben' of the Kairos/Occasio figure, and the way the theme was accustomed in the Quattrocento and the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The ancient Greeks had a name for the joy as well as the sorrow of an occasion that suddenly presents itself, but disappears just as swiftly: kairos, or in Latin occasio. Using the Mantua grisaille as starting point and leading motif, Barbara Baert guides us in her own intriguing way through the history of the representation of this figure in art. How did the archaic Greek Kairos model survive in the Quattrocento? Which appearances did Kairos take on along the way and how can we explain his mutations? The author shows us how the semantic and rhetorical expansion of the concept kairos/occasio brought about gender switches and conflations with other personifications of time and fate. Grasping the lock of hair of Kairos/Occasio, spinning the wheel of fortune of Tyche/Fortuna, acting as the mast of the ship and holding the billowing sails, she steers us through depictions of the motionlessness of the moment throughout history before dropping anchor in the fascinating vocabulary of Aby Warburg. During this journey, she invites us to go offshore looking for a new critical moment that presents itself as a powerful opening of possibilities.

    This essay features a grisaille fresco depicting the Kairos/Occasio motif. A female figure with hair in front of her face and a bald crown moves with winged feet on top of a globe. Her clothing billows dynamically in the wind. She is a contrast to the woman with headgear, who has been placed on a rectangular pedestal and is keeping a young man from chasing the winged woman. He stretches out his arms to her in vain. The iconography of this grisaille crystallizes a longue duree of ‘the right moment’ or the fleeting opportunity. The grisaille illuminates a historical juncture in which the Fortuna/Occasio motif fascinated families of art patrons such as the Gonzagas, Sforzas and Estes. The grasping of the moment in the fresco also allows us to begin to grasp what ‘the unique opportunity’ meant for the people in the 15th century. Furthermore, the iconography of the grisaille has a key position in the transition from Middle Ages to Renaissance. This transition coincided with an iconographic conflation of Kairos and Occasio. The hybrid forms arose with the new, humanist understanding of human destiny. Likewise, the Mantuan grisaille embodies a modern depiction of this conflation in relation to the course of man’s life and their responsibilities to society. The fresco literally possesses the energy of a kairotic juncture, and enables a better understanding of 15th-century humanism through the lens of what the virtue-mediated relationship between human being and fate makes possible.
