"A Landscape with Psyche Outside the Palace of Cupid" ("Un Paysage avec Psyché devant le Palais de Cupidon") is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain, also known as Claude Gellée or simply Claude (1600–1682). This work, created in 1664, is a quintessential example of Claude's mature style, where he combines classical landscape with mythological themes, embodying the idealized pastoral vision that became synonymous with his name.

The painting depicts a scene from the story of Psyche, a mortal woman whose beauty rivaled that of Venus (Aphrodite), the goddess of love. In the narrative, Psyche is brought to a magnificent palace, a gift from her lover Cupid (Eros), whom she has yet to see. Claude's interpretation of the scene is imbued with a serene and harmonious atmosphere, showcasing his mastery of light, color, and composition.

In the foreground, Psyche is seen being led by an attendant towards the grand palace, which is set in a vast and idyllic landscape. The palace itself is bathed in a warm, golden light, typical of Claude's luminous landscapes. The composition is carefully structured, with classical architecture and natural elements such as trees and watercourses leading the viewer's eye towards the palace and the distant horizon.

The painting is part of Claude Lorrain's celebrated oeuvre of landscape paintings that profoundly influenced the development of the genre in Western art. It reflects the artist's interest in antiquity and his ability to create poetic interpretations of mythological subjects within the context of the natural world. "A Landscape with Psyche Outside the Palace of Cupid" is not only a testament to Claude's technical skill but also to his enduring impact on the visual arts, particularly in the realm of landscape painting.

This work is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance. As with many of Claude's paintings, it has been widely reproduced and discussed in art historical literature, contributing to the artist's reputation as a leading figure of the Baroque era and a pioneer of the classical landscape genre.
