"Portrait of Mlle Lange as Danaë" is a celebrated painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, completed in 1799. This work is renowned for its intricate blend of Neoclassical and Romantic elements, showcasing Girodet's departure from the strict Neoclassicism of his mentor, Jacques-Louis David, towards a more personal and emotive style. The painting depicts Anne-Françoise-Elisabeth Lange, a famous actress of the time, in the guise of Danaë, a figure from Greek mythology who was visited by Zeus in the form of a golden shower. Girodet's portrayal is notable for its sensuality and the vivid depiction of textures, from the shimmering gold to the softness of the skin and fabrics, highlighting his mastery of light and shadow.

The artwork serves as a complex commentary on the relationship between artist and patron, as well as the role of women in art and society. Lange, known for her beauty and talent, was at the height of her fame when Girodet painted her portrait. However, the painting also carries a satirical undertone, reflecting the tumultuous relationship between the artist and his subject, who was dissatisfied with Girodet's portrayal of her. This dissatisfaction is believed to have stemmed from the painting's allegorical content, which subtly critiques Lange's vanity and the moral laxity attributed to her by contemporary society.

"Portrait of Mlle Lange as Danaë" is a pivotal work in Girodet's oeuvre, exemplifying his transition towards Romanticism and his skill in infusing classical subjects with emotional depth and complexity. The painting is celebrated for its technical excellence, its rich symbolic language, and its place within the broader context of French art at the turn of the 19th century. It remains a key work for understanding the evolution of French painting and the interplay between Neoclassical and Romantic tendencies at the end of the 18th century.
