DANAË

Danaë: translation

The daughter of Acrisius, king of Argos, Danaë was confined by her father to prevent her from conceiving the child an oracle predicted would kill him.Jupiter, who lusted after Danaë, appeared to her in the form of a shower of gold. From their union Perseus was born who accidentally killed Acrisius during a javelin-throwing contest. The scene was fairly common in the Renaissance as it provided artists with the opportunity to depict the female nude form. BothCorreggio(c. 1531;Rome, GalleriaBorghese) andTitian(1554; Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum) depicted Danaë as a reclining nude figure.Jan Gossart(1527; Munich, Alte Pinakothek) instead rendered her seminude and seated, fascinated by the speckles of gold that fall from above.
