Sebastiano Conca’s “Fame” depicts the allegorical figure of Fame, a classical deity often represented as a winged woman with a trumpet. Here, she is shown holding a trumpet and laurel branch, symbolizing the enduring power of fame and honor. Conca, a prominent Baroque painter, was renowned for his mastery of composition and dramatic use of light and shadow. The painting, likely executed in the 18th century, showcases his skill in capturing the beauty and grandeur of classical mythology.
