"The Birth of Marie de' Medici" is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created as part of a monumental series depicting the life of Marie de' Medici, Queen of France and wife of King Henry IV. This particular work, which is one of twenty-four canvases, celebrates the birth of Marie de' Medici in Florence, Italy, on April 26, 1575. Commissioned by Marie de' Medici herself for the Luxembourg Palace in Paris, the series was intended to glorify her life and reign as queen consort and regent for her son, King Louis XIII.

Rubens, known for his exuberant Baroque style, completed the series between 1622 and 1625. "The Birth of Marie de' Medici" is imbued with symbolic elements and allegorical figures, a characteristic feature of Rubens' work. The painting showcases the newborn Marie being attended by various mythological figures and celestial beings, emphasizing her auspicious entry into the world and her destined greatness. The inclusion of the Three Graces, Jupiter, and the goddesses of abundance and health, among others, serve to underscore the divine favor and high expectations surrounding her birth.

The painting, along with the rest of the Marie de' Medici cycle, is celebrated for its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the skillful blending of historical narrative with mythological overtones. After its installation in the Luxembourg Palace, the series was eventually moved to the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it remains a significant part of the museum's collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Rubens' mastery and the political and personal storytelling interwoven into the fabric of the Medici cycle. "The Birth of Marie de' Medici" not only exemplifies Rubens' artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document reflecting the political propaganda and cultural ambitions of the early 17th century French monarchy.
