This Triumph of Death is from ca. 1350 and earlier than Petrarca's poem Trionfi. It reminds the Great Death from 1348-1350, which transformed Petrarcas life. According to his own words he did meet his poetical ideal Laura at Good Friday 1327, and Laura died cause the plague at Good Friday, 1348. Petrarca left his home at Vaucluse near Avignon around 1350 and spend the most of the rest of his life in Italy. The poem Trionfi reflects his love to Laura and also the dramatic changes in his own life, probably also the deep experience of the pestilence.It became never clear in the researches of Petrarcas life, if there had been once a real Laura or if she was only a poetical fugure. Petrarca died similar perfect as Laura at his 70th birthday, with the writing pen in his hand, as he wished it before (might be a legend).
The Black Death of 1348/1350 is the great cut in 14th century. When we find not so much pictures, culture, development in the 14th century, simply not so much remembering from the 14th century in our history books, then this is partly the result of a general breakdown of many social systems at that time. Petrarca, who lived till 1450 a lot of his lifetime in France, returned cause a diplomatic visit 10 years later. He finds dramatic words for the changes in culture.
