"Allegory of June: Triumph of Mercury" (1476-84) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Cosme Tura, also known as Cosimo di Domenico di Bonaventura. This work is part of a series of allegorical representations of the months, which adorned the walls of the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Italy. The palazzo was a summer residence for the Este family, who were prominent patrons of the arts during the Renaissance.

The fresco cycle, known as the "Salone dei Mesi" (Hall of the Months), was commissioned by Borso d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara, and is celebrated for its intricate iconography and the fusion of astrological, mythological, and classical themes. Tura's "Allegory of June" is particularly notable for its depiction of Mercury, the Roman messenger god, who is shown triumphantly riding a chariot, symbolizing his attributes of eloquence and commerce, which were associated with the month of June in the Este court's iconographic program.

Cosme Tura, a leading figure of the Ferrarese school, is renowned for his distinctive style characterized by strong, sculptural figures and a vivid use of color. His work on the Palazzo Schifanoia frescoes showcases his ability to blend the fantastical elements of courtly allegories with a naturalistic attention to detail. The "Triumph of Mercury" stands as a testament to Tura's skill in creating dynamic compositions that capture the intellectual and artistic spirit of the Italian Renaissance.

The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical research, as it reflects the complex interplay of humanist thought and artistic innovation during the period. Despite the damage and wear over the centuries, "Allegory of June: Triumph of Mercury" remains a significant example of Renaissance art and continues to attract scholarly attention for its cultural and historical importance.
