Triumphs of Love, Chastity, and Death

1450 · Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston

mythological

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.
