Mariano Fortuny was a Spanish painter. He was born in 1839 near Barcelona and died in 1874. He studied at Madrid, travelled in Morocco, and settled at Rome, where he became the centre of a school of artists in revolt against over-study of the 'masters'. In 1866 he went to Paris, where his pictures, mostly genre subjects from southern and oriental life, had a great success. Amongst the best known are A Spanish Marriage, A Fantasia at Morocco, The Academicians at Arcadia, The Seashore at Portici.

In Greek mythology Atalanta was a famous huntress of Arcadia. She was to be married only to someone who could outrun her in a race, the consequence of failure being death. One of her suitors obtained from Aphrodite three golden apples, which he threw behind him, one after another, as he ran. Atalanta stopped to pick them up, and was not unwillingly defeated. There was another Atalanta belonging to Boeotia, who cannot very well be distinguished, the same stories being told about both.
