"The Landing of Marie de Medici at Marseilles" (1622–1625) is a monumental oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. This work is part of a series of 24 canvases commissioned by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France and mother of King Louis XIII, for the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. The series, known as the Marie de' Medici Cycle, depicts various events from the queen's life, blending historical fact with mythological allegories to enhance her royal image and legacy.

The painting captures the moment of Marie de' Medici's arrival at the port of Marseilles on November 3, 1600, as she disembarks from the galley to French soil for the first time. She was on her way to marry King Henry IV, a political union designed to consolidate power and create alliances between France and her native Italy. In Rubens' depiction, the queen is greeted with great fanfare and celebration, emphasizing the significance of her arrival as a momentous state occasion.

Rubens' mastery of color, composition, and dramatic storytelling is evident in this work. The scene is bustling with activity, featuring a variety of figures, including nobles, mythological characters, and allegorical representations. The goddesses and personifications, such as Fame and Neptune, highlight the divine approval and grandeur of the event. The opulent use of color and the dynamic movement within the composition reflect the Baroque style's emphasis on emotion, grandeur, and sensory appeal.

Measuring approximately 3.9 meters by 2.95 meters, "The Landing of Marie de Medici at Marseilles" is a testament to Rubens' ability to convey narrative through visual splendor. The painting, along with the rest of the Marie de' Medici Cycle, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
