"Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus" is a renowned painting by the Italian early Renaissance artist Cosme Tura, also known as Cosimo Tura. Created in the 15th century, specifically around 1469-1470, this artwork is part of a series of panels that were originally part of a now-dispersed cassone, a type of decorative chest that was commonly used for storage and seating in Italian households of the period. The painting is currently held in the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Italy, as part of the collection of frescoes in the Salone dei Mesi (Hall of the Months) which depict the months of the year and the corresponding astrological signs.

The "Allegory of April" is particularly noted for its representation of the classical goddess Venus, who is depicted riding a goat in a lush, springtime setting, symbolizing the triumph of love and beauty associated with the month of April. The work is characterized by its vivid colors and intricate details, which are hallmarks of Tura's style. His work is often recognized for its distinctive, almost surreal quality and the use of elongated, elegant figures, which reflect the aesthetic of the Ferrara school of painting during the Renaissance.

As an allegorical piece, the painting combines mythological references with astrological symbolism, which was a common practice during the Renaissance as a means of reflecting the humanistic interest in classical antiquity. The "Allegory of April" is an important example of Tura's contribution to the development of Renaissance art in Northern Italy and offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the Este court, where Tura was employed as a court painter.

The "Allegory of April" has been the subject of various art historical studies, which have explored its iconography, stylistic elements, and its place within the broader context of 15th-century Italian art. Its preservation in the Palazzo Schifanoia allows for continued appreciation and analysis, contributing to our understanding of Renaissance artistic themes and the visual representation of time and nature.
