Francesco Petrarch's (1304–1374) Trionfi are among the most popular literary works of the #Renaissance. In it, the great poet of the early Italian Renaissance sings of the triumph of Love, Chastity and Glory, the triumph of Time, the triumph of Death over Time and the triumph of Eternity, and thus sets forth his humanistic worldview entirely in the spirit of his time. In this precious #manuscript from the second half of the 15th century, the famous miniaturist Francesco d'Antonio del Chierico, with the help of Zanobi Strozzi, embellished this great work of Italian #literature and culture with beautiful pictorial decoration. Six wonderful full-page #miniatures depict allegories of the Triumphs and are complemented by opulent borders and elaborate decorated #initials. Finally, the lavish but subtle use of gold throughout the #codex makes this copy of the Trionfi a secular luxury manuscript.
