Il Trionfo della Fama

ca. 1502–4
Not on view
Questo arazzo, in ottime condizioni, è di straordinaria bellezza per i colori e l’armonia compositiva. Basato in parte sul poema di Petrarca, I Trionfi, faceva parte di una serie di sei arazzi che rappresentavano i trionfi dell’Amore, della Pudicizia, della Morte, della Fama, del Tempo e dell’Eternità. In questo arazzo la Fama è intenta a leggere davanti a un leggio, circondata da scrittori le cui opere immortalarono le imprese degli antichi. Trionfando sulla morte, calpesta le Parche mentre regge una sfera sormontata da una croce, particolare che colloca il soggetto in un contesto decisamente cristiano. Questo arazzo, o uno identico a questo, fu acquistato da Isabella, regina di Castiglia e Aragona, nel 1504.
