About the piece
This 1730 oil painting by Italian master Sebastiano Conca depicts the personification of Fame as a majestic winged woman. Rendered with the soft luminosity of the Late Baroque, she is shown recording deeds in a great book while a putto attends beside her, set against a dramatic, moody background.
