Frontispiece to Petrarch's De Viris Illustribus, c.1380 (BnF MS Latin 6069I). The illustration is a Triumph of Gloria (Vainglory, Fama). The image is thought to be based on 1335 fresco by Giotto in the palace of Azzone Visconti, Milan, as described in the 1342 Amorosa Visione by Boccaccio. This is one of the forerunners of the iconographic tradition illustrating Petrarch's Triumphs. The illuminated initial contains a portrait of the author, writing his book.
