''Danaë'' is an oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, dating from around 1531. This artwork is part of a series of mythological paintings that Correggio created for Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua. The painting depicts the moment from Greek mythology when Danaë, the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos, receives Zeus, who has transformed himself into a shower of gold to impregnate her. This encounter was prophesied to result in the birth of the hero Perseus, who would eventually lead to the downfall of Acrisius.

Correggio is renowned for his mastery of light and color, and in ''Danaë'', these elements are used to create a sensual and inviting scene that captures the viewer's attention. The softness of Danaë's flesh, the luxurious textures of the fabrics, and the ethereal quality of the golden light showcase Correggio's skill in rendering both the human form and the intangible. The composition is dynamic yet intimate, with Danaë reclining on her bed, her gaze directed towards the golden shower that symbolizes Zeus's presence.

The painting is a prime example of Correggio's ability to fuse the physical with the divine, imbuing his subjects with a sense of grace and otherworldliness that is characteristic of his work. ''Danaë'' reflects the High Renaissance's exploration of classical themes and the human form, while also hinting at the emerging sensuality that would come to define the later Mannerist style.

Today, ''Danaë'' is held in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where it continues to be admired for its artistry and its place in the evolution of Renaissance painting. As with many of Correggio's works, ''Danaë'' has been influential in the development of European art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists with its innovative approach to mythological subject matter and its exquisite execution.
