"Triumph of Love" is a 1539 engraving by German Renaissance artist Georg Pencz, part of his series, "The Triumphs of Petrarch." The print depicts a procession led by Cupid, riding in a chariot drawn by four horses, a triumphal procession of gods and goddesses. It references the Triumphs of Petrarch, an allegorical series of poems by the 14th-century Italian poet, Francesco Petrarch, that depicted the allegorical triumphs of various virtues and vices. The composition features a classical style with realistic depictions of the figures and a detailed landscape. The intricate details and dramatic perspective make this print a compelling example of the artistry of Georg Pencz, a master of the Northern Renaissance.
