The Triumph of Fame, plate three from the Triumphs of Petrarch Made 1534-1544 Germany. Petrarchís beloved poem about Fame lends itself well to being illustrated as a parade, and so Pencz could easily have adopted this imagery of ancient triumphal processions from recent works in print and paint by the late-15th-century artist Andrea Mantegna. Indeed, Pencz visited Mantua during his trip to Italy and may have seen some of Mantegnaís work there. Penczís curiously squat and diminutive elephants, stubby human figures, and oversize sculptural remnants all suggest a familiarity with Mantegnaís dramatic perspectives and cast of historical characters..
