''The Triumph of Mercury: June, from the Room of the Months'' is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Francesco del Cossa, created approximately between 1467 and 1470. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorned the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Italy, which was commissioned by Borso d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara. The frescoes in the Room of the Months depict the months of the year, each associated with a specific astrological sign and its ruling deity, as well as scenes of courtly life and labor activities typical of the respective month.

Del Cossa's ''The Triumph of Mercury'' represents the month of June and is characterized by its intricate allegorical representation and rich iconography. The fresco is divided into three horizontal bands. The uppermost band illustrates the astrological sign of Gemini, with the twins Castor and Pollux, and the central band features Mercury, the messenger of the gods, in a triumphal procession, which is a common motif in classical and Renaissance art symbolizing victory and celebration. Mercury, associated with eloquence and commerce, is depicted riding a chariot pulled by cockerels, which are symbols of vigilance and the heralds of the new day. The god is surrounded by figures that represent various intellectual pursuits and commercial activities, reflecting the patron's interest in humanist learning and the prosperity of Ferrara.

The lower band of the fresco shows the nobility and commoners engaged in activities typical of June, such as the harvest of hay and the enjoyment of outdoor pursuits, which provides a glimpse into the social and economic life of 15th-century Italy. The fresco's vivid colors, attention to detail, and the incorporation of both mythological and everyday elements make it a masterpiece of the Ferrarese school of painting.

Francesco del Cossa's work in the Palazzo Schifanoia, including ''The Triumph of Mercury,'' is celebrated for its artistic innovation and is considered a significant contribution to the development of Renaissance art. The frescoes were rediscovered in the 19th century after having been covered with whitewash, and since then, they have undergone several restorations to preserve their beauty and historical importance. ''The Triumph of Mercury: June, from the Room of the Months'' remains a testament to del Cossa's skill and the rich cultural environment of the Este court.
