Triumphs of Fame, Time, and Eternity
by PESELLINO, Tempera and gold on panel, 45 x 157 cm
The two cassone panels in this museum, the Triumphs of Fame, Time, and Eternity, and the Triumphs of Love, Chastity, and Death, feature five parade floats, forming a grand procession that culminates in a celestial vision of God at the end of time. The imagery derives from Petrarch’s fourteenth-century allegorical poem, The Triumphs of Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, and Eternity.
