Le Triomphe de la Bonne Renommée

ca. 1502–4
Not on view
Cette tapisserie est remarquable par son état de conservation, sa palette et sa composition harmonieuse. Inspirée en partie de I Trionfi (Les Triomphes), un poème de Pétrarque, elle faisait partie d’un ensemble de six, qui représentent les triomphes de l’Amour, de la Chasteté, de la Mort, du Temps, de la Religion et de la Renommée. Cette dernière lit un ouvrage posé sur un lutrin, entourée d’auteurs qui ont immortalisé les exploits des anciens. Triomphant de la Mort, elle piétine les Destinées. Dans sa main, un orbe couronné d’une croix situe indubitablement le sujet dans un contexte chrétien. En 1504, Isabelle, reine de Castille et d’Aragon, acheta la tapisserie ou une autre, identique.
