"Venus Punishing Psyche with a Task" (1692-1702) is a significant work by the Italian painter Luca Giordano, a leading artist of the Baroque period known for his vibrant color palette and dynamic compositions. This painting is part of a series that illustrates the mythological tale of Psyche, a mortal woman whose beauty rivaled that of Venus (Aphrodite), the goddess of love. The artwork captures a pivotal moment from the story recounted in "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, where a jealous Venus imposes a series of seemingly impossible tasks on Psyche as punishment for attracting the attention of Venus's son, Cupid (Eros).

In this particular scene, Giordano's mastery of the Baroque style is evident through his use of dramatic lighting, fluid brushwork, and a rich color scheme that emphasizes the emotional intensity of the narrative. The painting portrays Venus as she imperiously hands down her decree to Psyche, who is depicted with a blend of beauty and pathos, highlighting her vulnerability in the face of the goddess's wrath.

The work is a testament to Giordano's ability to convey complex stories through visual art, and it reflects the themes of love, jealousy, and the trials of the human spirit that are central to the Psyche myth. "Venus Punishing Psyche with a Task" is not only an example of Giordano's artistic skill but also an illustration of the enduring power of classical mythology in the arts. The painting is a valuable piece for the study of Baroque art and the cultural context in which Giordano worked, offering insight into the 17th-century aesthetic and its fascination with drama, emotion, and the divine.
