This painting shows a lively scene with many people and objects. In the center, a large, ornate chariot is being pulled by two horses. A man in a red robe stands on the chariot, holding a spear and wearing a laurel wreath on his head. He is surrounded by other people, some on horseback, others on foot. They are all dressed in colorful clothing and armor. The background of the painting is a cityscape with buildings and a blue sky. The overall mood of the painting is one of celebration and triumph. The Triumph of Scipio Africanus is a work by the artist Apollonio di Giovanni.
