"The Birth of Louis XIII; The Institution of the Regency; and The Happiness of the Regency" is a series of paintings by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created as part of a larger body of work known as the Marie de' Medici Cycle. This monumental cycle, commissioned by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France and mother of Louis XIII, consists of twenty-four canvases designed to glorify her life and her role as regent for her son, Louis XIII.

The series in question specifically focuses on the themes surrounding the birth of Louis XIII, the establishment of the regency during his minority, and the perceived prosperity and contentment of France under Marie de' Medici's governance. These paintings, like others in the cycle, are rich in allegorical and mythological imagery, blending historical events with classical references to convey a narrative that is both personal and political.

Rubens, known for his dynamic compositions, vibrant use of color, and skilled depiction of the human form, employed these talents to create a visual narrative that was both flattering to his patron and a testament to his own artistic prowess. The cycle was intended for the Luxembourg Palace in Paris and was completed in the 1620s. However, due to political turmoil and Marie's exile, the paintings were not installed until 1625, and even then, they were not displayed for long.

The specific paintings dealing with the birth of Louis XIII, the institution of the regency, and the happiness of the regency period are emblematic of Rubens's ability to convey complex political messages through art. They serve as a testament to the power of visual propaganda and the role of artists in shaping the historical narrative of their patrons.

Today, the Marie de' Medici Cycle, including the paintings that focus on Louis XIII and the regency, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The works remain an important part of Rubens's oeuvre and are studied for their historical context, artistic merit, and the insight they provide into the politics and culture of early 17th-century France.
