"Psyche Honoured by the People" (1692-1702) is a significant work by the Italian painter Luca Giordano, a prominent artist of the Baroque period known for his vibrant color palette and dynamic compositions. This painting is part of a series that illustrates episodes from the myth of Cupid and Psyche, as recounted in "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, a narrative that was popular among artists and intellectuals during the Baroque era.

The artwork depicts the moment when Psyche, the mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, is celebrated and venerated by the populace who admire her to such an extent that they neglect the worship of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. This act of adoration by the people ultimately leads to Venus's jealousy and the series of trials that Psyche must undergo as a result of the goddess's wrath.

Giordano's interpretation of this mythological scene is characterized by his masterful use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic effect that enhances the emotional intensity of the narrative. The figures are rendered with a sense of movement and energy, which is typical of Giordano's work and reflective of the Baroque style's emphasis on expressiveness and theatricality.

The painting is notable for its grand scale and the skillful depiction of the human form, as well as Giordano's ability to convey the story through visual means. "Psyche Honoured by the People" exemplifies Giordano's expertise in creating complex compositions that are both visually captivating and rich in symbolic meaning.

As a testament to Giordano's reputation during his lifetime, he was nicknamed "Luca fa presto" (Luca works quickly) for his remarkable speed of execution and productivity. His works were highly sought after by patrons across Europe, and his influence extended well into the 18th century, leaving a lasting impact on the development of Western art.

"Psyche Honoured by the People" is housed in a notable museum or art collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. The painting remains an important example of Giordano's oeuvre and a valuable piece within the canon of Baroque art.
