"Den Opvaagnende Psyke" ("The Awakening of Psyche") is a notable work by the Danish painter Henrik Olrik (1830–1890), created in 1861. This painting stands as a significant example of Danish Golden Age art, a period characterized by a flourishing of Danish painting, literature, and science in the first half of the 19th century. Olrik, who was a prominent figure in this cultural renaissance, is renowned for his portraits, religious subjects, and historical paintings, with "Den Opvaagnende Psyke" being among his most celebrated works.

The painting depicts Psyche, a figure from Greek mythology who embodies the human soul, in the moment of awakening. This theme of awakening can be interpreted in several ways, including the awakening of love, consciousness, or the soul's realization of its immortality. Olrik's representation of Psyche is deeply imbued with the Romantic spirit of the era, emphasizing emotion, individualism, and the sublime beauty of nature.

"Den Opvaagnende Psyke" is admired for its exquisite detail, delicate use of color, and the emotional depth with which Olrik imbues the mythological subject. The painting reflects the artist's mastery in capturing the nuances of human emotion and the ethereal quality of the mythological narrative. It also illustrates the Danish Golden Age artists' interest in classical mythology and their ability to reinterpret these ancient stories through a contemporary lens.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the cultural and historical understanding of Danish art in the 19th century. "Den Opvaagnende Psyke" remains an important piece in the study of Henrik Olrik's oeuvre and the broader context of Scandinavian art history, offering insights into the themes and aesthetic concerns that shaped this period of artistic innovation.
