"The Coronation of Maria de Medici" is a renowned painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created as part of a monumental series that celebrates the life and achievements of Maria de Medici, the Queen Mother of France. This particular work, which is part of the Marie de' Medici cycle, depicts the grand coronation ceremony of Maria de Medici as Queen of France, which took place at the Basilica of Saint-Denis on May 13, 1610, the day after her husband, King Henry IV of France, was assassinated.

Rubens was commissioned in 1621 to produce a series of twenty-four paintings to adorn the Luxembourg Palace, the Paris residence of Maria de Medici. The cycle was intended to glorify Maria's life and reign, serving both as a political statement and as a personal testament to her power and legacy. The Coronation of Maria de Medici is a key piece in this series, showcasing Rubens' mastery of composition, his vibrant use of color, and his dynamic portrayal of figures in motion.

In the painting, Rubens captures the opulence and solemnity of the coronation ceremony. Maria de Medici is shown at the center of the composition, dressed in regal attire, being crowned by a bishop, while surrounded by a host of dignitaries, courtiers, and allegorical figures. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the textures of fabrics and materials, contributes to the overall grandeur and drama of the scene.

The Coronation of Maria de Medici, along with the rest of the cycle, was removed from the Luxembourg Palace during the 18th century and has since been housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The series stands as a testament to Rubens' skill as a painter of historical and mythological subjects, and it remains an important cultural artifact from the Baroque period, reflecting the political and artistic ambitions of the era.
