==History== | |||
In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Fame was the name of one of the six original triumphs, which later became The Chariot in subsequent tarot decks. | |||
The painting of Fame depicts a carriage carrying an [[angel]] with a sword who is blowing a horn. A dead body is being trampled underneath the carriage. Surrounding the carriage is a crowd of people who all have their mouths open as though they are talking about the approaching angel. The allegory of Fame suggests that the way to be remembered and talked about is through victory in battle. | |||
