Allegory of March – Triumph of Minerva and Sign of Aries. Frescos in Palazzo Schifanoia (detail) 1470

This detail from Francesco del Cossa's *Allegory of March* fresco cycle in the Palazzo Schifanoia depicts a young child wearing a blue cap and yellow clothing. The child is holding a small object, perhaps a toy, in its hands. This fresco cycle, painted around 1470, represents the months of the year through allegorical figures and scenes from classical mythology. The cycle is a masterpiece of early Renaissance art, known for its vivid colors, detailed figures, and impressive use of perspective.
