Description
This splendid Dutch tapestry, inspired by Petrarch’s poem, “Trionfi” (The Triumphs), is part of a set of six depicting Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, and Religion triumphing over each other. In this scene, Fame stands victorious over Death, symbolized by her trampling the Fates and holding a cross-crowned orb, placing the theme in a Christian context. Jitterbug offers this tapestry as a wallpaper mural, capturing its beautiful details, including its remarkable condition, vibrant colors, and balanced composition.
