Triunfo de la Fama

ca. 1502–4
Not on view
Extraordinario por su condición, color y composición armoniosa, este tapiz se basa en un pasaje del poema de Petrarca I Trionfi, y formó parte de una serie de seis tapices que representaban los triunfos del Amor, Castidad, Muerte, Fama, Tiempo y Religión. Aquí, la Fama lee un libro colocado en un atril, rodeada de escritores cuyas obras inmortalizaron las proezas de los héroes de la antigüedad. Victoriosa sobre la Muerte, pisotea a las Parcas y sostiene un orbe coronado con una cruz, dando así al tema un contexto claramente cristiano. En 1504, Isabel la Católica, reina de Castilla y Aragón, compró este tapiz o uno idéntico.
