介绍（中）	一队白象拉着一辆战车，名人有翼的身影乘坐战车。她身着锦缎和鸵鸟羽毛，吹响号角，预示着四位名人的出现：两位哲学家柏拉图和亚里士多德，以及两位统治者亚历山大大帝，远处的亚历山大大帝和查理曼大帝。亚历山大手持金色权杖，上面有一只手和其他法国国王的标志;查理曼大帝戴着神圣罗马帝国皇帝的王冠，也戴着法国的百合花。象征死亡的女性形象被踩在脚下。主题来源于十四世纪意大利诗人彼特拉克的《胜利》（I Trionfi）。到大约 1500 年，它已被翻译成法语，供国王路易十二使用，并在皇家挂毯上插图。这个例子是苏瓦松主教的住所塞普蒙特城堡的系列之一。主教Symphorien de Bullioud在为路易十二前往罗马和米兰的外交使团中熟悉意大利文化，可能委托了该系列。挂毯的顶部被切割，铭文"凭借她作为重要女士的力量"的剩余一行与复杂的凯旋隐喻有关。
介绍（英）	A team of white elephants pulls a chariot in which the winged figure of Fame rides. Dressed in brocade and ostrich feathers, she sounds a trumpet, heralding the appearance of four famous men: two philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, and two rulers, Alexander the Great, on the far side, and Charlemagne. Alexander bears the golden scepter topped with a hand and other emblems of the kings of France; Charlemagne wears the crown of the Holy Roman Emperor but also the fleur-de-lys of France. Female figures symbolizing Death are trampled underfoot. The theme derives from The Triumphs (I Trionfi), by the fourteenth-century Italian poet Petrarch. By about 1500, it had been translated into French for King Louis XII and illustrated on royal tapestries. This example is one of a series from the château de Septmonts, the residence of the bishops of Soissons. Bishop Symphorien de Bullioud, who was familiar with Italian culture from his diplomatic missions to Rome and Milan for Louis XII, probably commissioned the series. The tapestry has been cut at the top, and the single remaining line of the inscription "By her power as a lady of consequence" relates to the complicated Triumph metaphor.
