"Psyche Taken Up into Olympus" (1621) is a celebrated oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. This work of art captures the climactic moment from the mythological tale of Psyche, as she is transported to Mount Olympus, the home of the gods, following her mortal trials and eventual reconciliation with Venus, the goddess of love. The painting is a testament to Ruben's mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by its vivid color, dynamic composition, and emotional intensity.

The narrative depicted in the painting is derived from "The Golden Ass," a Latin novel written in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius, which includes the story of Cupid and Psyche. The myth tells of Psyche's ascent to godhood after proving her love and devotion to Cupid, overcoming the challenges set by Venus, and receiving the ambrosia of the gods from Jupiter himself.

Rubens's interpretation of Psyche's apotheosis is a dramatic and sensual portrayal, emphasizing the movement and physicality for which his work is renowned. The figures are rendered with a sense of weight and volume, and the use of chiaroscuro—strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensional form of the subjects and contributes to the overall drama of the scene.

The painting is part of a series that Rubens created on the theme of Psyche's adventures. His works on this subject are notable for their exploration of human emotion, the beauty of the human form, and the interaction between the mortal and divine realms. "Psyche Taken Up into Olympus" is a prime example of Rubens's ability to convey narrative through visual art and is considered an important piece within his oeuvre.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance within the context of Baroque art and Rubens's body of work.
