A copy of Sebastian Conca's painting from 1730, owned by the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca in Rome. Sebastiano Conca was born in Naples, settled in Rome, and created paintings for prominent clients, including popes and cardinals. Near the personification of fame lies her typical attribute—a trumpet. She is typically depicted as a woman with wings, sometimes holding a laurel wreath in her hand.
