"The Felicity of the Regency of Maria de' Medici" is a notable work by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, created as part of a monumental series that celebrates the life and achievements of Maria de' Medici, the Queen Mother and regent of France. This series, commonly referred to as the "Marie de' Medici Cycle," was commissioned by Maria herself in 1621 and consists of twenty-four paintings, each depicting significant events in her life. The cycle was intended to adorn the Luxembourg Palace in Paris, which was her residence at the time.

The specific painting "The Felicity of the Regency of Maria de' Medici" glorifies the period during which Maria de' Medici served as the regent for her young son, King Louis XIII, following the assassination of her husband, King Henry IV of France. Rubens' work is characterized by its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the grandeur typical of his allegorical and historical representations. In this painting, as in others from the cycle, Rubens masterfully blends mythological references with historical narrative to create a glorified and somewhat propagandistic portrayal of Maria's regency.

The cycle as a whole is considered one of Rubens' masterpieces and a quintessential example of Baroque historical painting. The works are celebrated for their artistic virtuosity and the way they reflect the political and cultural ambitions of the European elite during the early 17th century. "The Felicity of the Regency of Maria de' Medici" contributes to this narrative by illustrating an era of relative peace and prosperity under Maria's rule, as well as her personal virtues and her role as a protective mother to the future king.

After being displayed in the Luxembourg Palace, the Marie de' Medici Cycle faced a tumultuous history, with the paintings eventually being removed and relocated several times. Today, the majority of the cycle, including "The Felicity of the Regency of Maria de' Medici," is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be an important part of the museum's collection, offering insight into the political, cultural, and artistic context of the early 17th century.
