Glorious Victory (Spanish: La Gloriosa Victoria) is a tempera-on-canvas painting by Mexican artist Diego Rivera, created in 1954.

The painting depicts at the center, standing, a dumbfounded US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, striking a deal with Guatemala's newly installed right-wing president, Castillo Armas.

Rivera's explicit mention of the coup and references to prominent political figures prompted backlash to which he responded directly, defending his work as deserved criticism of current events.

Rivera uses this piece to highlight the effects of Cold War violence on indigenous communities and to continue his career's protest of capitalism.

His fame in Mexico began partly with his public murals, designed to teach illiterate and literate communities about their past and national history.

Drawing from Mexico's collective memory as a mestizo nation of indigenous character, Rivera looked to the aesthetics of pre-Columbian societies so that his work in his view would be undeniably Mexican.

As rumors surfaced that the work was hidden in Russia, it was revealed that Rivera had loaned the piece to the Pushkin Museum, in Moscow, for a question of political solidarity.

[5] La Gloriosa Victoria shares the same aesthetic with Rivera's post-cubism work, inspired by Aztec and Mayan artistic traditions.

While other Guatemalans are either depicted as soldiers in uniform or peasants, the man in the center wears a smooth leather jacket with a wad of cash in the pocket.

Capitalist production of bananas, managed by the US-based United Fruit Company and backed by the US-government, has made virtual slaves of Guatemala's indigenous farmers.
