"The Apotheosis of Henry IV and the Proclamation of the Regency of Marie de Medicis on May 14, 1610" is a monumental painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created between 1623 and 1625. This work is part of a series of twenty-four canvases commissioned by Marie de' Medici, the widow of Henry IV and the mother of King Louis XIII of France, for the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. The series, known as the Marie de' Medici Cycle, was intended to glorify Marie's life and her role in French history.

This particular painting, often referred to as a detail due to its part in the larger cycle, captures two pivotal moments in French history. The first is the apotheosis of Henry IV, which depicts the ascent of the assassinated king to the heavens, symbolizing his deification and the recognition of his legacy as a ruler. The second is the proclamation of the regency of Marie de Medicis, which occurred immediately after Henry's death, marking the beginning of her tenure as regent for her young son, Louis XIII.

Rubens's composition is rich in allegory and symbolism, a hallmark of Baroque art. The painting is characterized by its dynamic figures, dramatic use of light and color, and the emotional intensity typical of Rubens's work. The grandeur of the scene reflects both the political significance of the events and the personal ambitions of Marie de' Medici to assert her authority and place in history.

The Apotheosis of Henry IV and the Proclamation of the Regency of Marie de Medicis is not only a work of political propaganda but also an example of Rubens's mastery in blending historical narrative with mythological and allegorical elements. The painting remains an important piece of the Marie de' Medici Cycle, which is considered one of the masterpieces of 17th-century Western painting. Today, the cycle can be viewed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
