"May or The Sign of Taurus" is a celebrated fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Francesco del Cossa, created in the 15th century as part of the Room of Months in the Palazzo Schifanoia, Ferrara, Italy. This artwork is one of a series that adorned the walls of the palazzo, each piece representing a month of the year and the corresponding astrological sign, commissioned by Borso d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara. Del Cossa's "May or The Sign of Taurus" stands out for its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the innovative use of perspective, which was groundbreaking for its time.

The fresco depicts the leisurely activities associated with May, set against a backdrop that reflects the lushness of spring. Nobles are shown engaging in a falconry, a popular pastime among the aristocracy during the Renaissance. The figures are elegantly dressed in the fashion of the period, highlighting del Cossa's attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of human expression. Above the earthly scene, the zodiac sign of Taurus is represented, linking the human activities below with the celestial sphere, a common theme in astrological art of the period.

"May or The Sign of Taurus" is notable for its artistic achievements and for providing insight into the cultural and social practices of 15th-century Italian nobility. The fresco's preservation and study offer valuable perspectives on the Renaissance's artistic techniques, aesthetic values, and the integration of astrological motifs in the visual arts. Del Cossa's work in the Palazzo Schifanoia, particularly this fresco, is considered a masterpiece of the early Renaissance, reflecting the era's intellectual curiosity, artistic innovation, and the burgeoning interest in the natural world and classical antiquity.
