"The Progress of a Soul: The Victory" is the fourth and final panel in a series of murals by the Scottish artist Phoebe Ann Traquair (1852–1936). Created between 1893 and 1901, this series of murals is considered one of Traquair's most significant works, showcasing her skills as a muralist and her contribution to the Arts and Crafts movement in Scotland. The series as a whole depicts the spiritual journey of the soul through life, inspired by the mystical poetry of the medieval Persian poet Attar, particularly his work "The Conference of the Birds."

"The Victory" culminates the narrative of the soul's progression, which begins with "The Entrance," followed by "The Stress," and "The Despair," leading to this final triumphant resolution. In this panel, Traquair illustrates the soul's arrival at a state of enlightenment or spiritual fulfillment, having overcome the trials and tribulations presented in the preceding panels. The imagery is rich with symbolism, often incorporating elements of Christian iconography and other religious motifs, reflecting Traquair's interest in spirituality and the human condition.

The murals are executed in a style that reflects the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Symbolist movement, characterized by their vivid color palette, intricate detail, and emotional depth. "The Victory" is particularly noted for its use of gold leaf and luminous colors, which create a sense of radiance and otherworldliness, befitting the mural's transcendent subject matter.

Phoebe Ann Traquair's work on "The Progress of a Soul" was commissioned for the Catholic Apostolic Church in Edinburgh, now known as Mansfield Traquair Centre, where the murals can still be viewed. The series represents a significant contribution to the visual arts in Scotland at the turn of the 20th century and is a testament to Traquair's artistic vision and craftsmanship. "The Victory," as the conclusion of this series, encapsulates the themes of redemption and the ultimate joy of the soul's journey, serving as a powerful and evocative piece within Traquair's oeuvre.
