early 16th c., Triumphzüge nach Petrarca (6 Stücke),
This tapestry is one of a six-part series with depictions after the allegorical poem I Trionfi (Triumphs) by Petrarch (1304–1374). In the end, it is eternity that triumphs over love, chastity, death, fame and time. Here, fame triumphs over death. The winged figure of Fame is accompanied by famous statesmen, poets and philosophers, among them Plato, Alexander, Homer, Cicero and Charlemagne.
