The literary theme of the struggle between personifications of Shrove Tuesday and Lent dates as far back as the year 400 with the Psychomachia. The 13th Century French poem La Bataille de Caresme et de Charnage describes a symbolic battle between different foods, meat against fish.[2] A likely graphic precursor of the painting is a 1558 Frans Hogenberg print in which the personifications of lean and fat are driven together on carts by their supporters. The supporters attack each other with fish, waffles, cookies and eggs.

Virgil's great epic poem, 'The Aeneid,' became a literary classic immediately on its appearance and has lost none of its power since. the Roman world honored Virgil for his poetic genius not only by treasuring his work but also by portraying him in art. here two muses, who inspired artists, flank the poet while he writes his epic poem (C.M. Dixon/Photo Resources)
