The "Allegory of May" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Cosme Tura, who is often regarded as one of the foremost artists of the Ferrarese School. Created in the late 15th century, this painting is part of a series of allegorical works that Tura produced for the Schifanoia Palace in Ferrara, Italy. The series was commissioned by Borso d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara, to decorate the walls of the palace's Salone dei Mesi (Hall of the Months), with each painting representing a different month of the year.

The "Allegory of May" is a rich tapestry of symbolic imagery and intricate detail, characteristic of Tura's distinctive style, which combines Gothic linearity with early Renaissance naturalism. The painting is imbued with astrological and mythological references, reflecting the humanist interests of the Este court. Central to the composition is the figure of Taurus, the zodiac sign associated with May, surrounded by a plethora of figures and motifs that illustrate the activities and themes of the month.

Tura's use of vibrant colors, elaborate drapery, and expressive figures demonstrates his mastery of tempera on panel, a medium that allowed for fine detail and durability. The allegorical elements in the painting are meticulously rendered, showcasing Tura's ability to blend complex iconography with aesthetic beauty. The "Allegory of May" not only serves as a decorative piece but also as a visual representation of the intellectual and cultural milieu of 15th-century Ferrara.

The Schifanoia Palace frescoes, including the "Allegory of May," have undergone various restorations over the centuries, preserving Tura's legacy and offering insight into the artistic and cultural achievements of the Italian Renaissance. Today, these works are celebrated for their historical significance and artistic innovation, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts from around the world.
