The "Madonna of Victory" is a renowned Renaissance painting created by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna in 1496. Commissioned by Francesco II Gonzaga, the Marquis of Mantua, the artwork commemorates his victory at the Battle of Fornovo on July 6, 1495, against the French forces of Charles VIII. This battle was part of the Italian Wars, which were a series of conflicts that involved various Italian states and foreign powers.

The painting, which is an oil on canvas, features the Virgin Mary enthroned and surrounded by a host of saints and angels. At the center, the Madonna holds the Christ Child, who blesses the Marquis kneeling before them. The figures of Saint Michael, Saint Andrew, Saint Longinus, and Saint George are also present, each symbolizing various aspects of Christian virtue and military prowess. The work is notable for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the use of perspective, which was a hallmark of Mantegna's style.

Originally housed in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, which was built by Francesco II Gonzaga in Mantua to celebrate his triumph, the painting was later moved to the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it remains on display. The "Madonna of Victory" is considered a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance art and reflects the fusion of religious themes with contemporary political events, a common practice during the period.

The painting's historical significance, combined with Mantegna's artistic skill, makes the "Madonna of Victory" a valuable piece for both art historians and admirers of Renaissance art. Its depiction of the Virgin Mary as a symbol of divine support for secular power provides insight into the relationship between church and state during the Renaissance, as well as the role of art in propagating political messages.
