"Danaë" by Cornelis van Poelenburgh is a notable artwork that exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with classical mythology and landscape painting. Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594/1595 – 1667) was a distinguished Dutch painter known for his small but highly detailed landscapes, often imbued with mythological or biblical themes. His rendition of "Danaë" is no exception, showcasing his adept skill in blending these elements into a harmonious composition.

The painting depicts the mythological story of Danaë, who was the mother of Perseus by Zeus. According to the myth, Zeus visited her in the form of golden rain, penetrating the chamber where her father, King Acrisius of Argos, had imprisoned her to prevent any offspring that might fulfill a prophecy to kill him. Van Poelenburgh's interpretation of this tale is typically rich in detail, capturing not only the divine encounter but also the beauty and vulnerability of Danaë within a lush, idyllic landscape that is characteristic of the artist's work.

While the exact date of this painting's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during the height of Van Poelenburgh's career, when he had returned to Utrecht after studying and working in Italy. His time in Italy had a profound influence on his artistic style, as seen in the classical themes and Italianate landscapes that pervade his work, including "Danaë."

"Danaë" by Cornelis van Poelenburgh is celebrated for its delicate handling of both the figure and the landscape, demonstrating the artist's mastery in creating depth and atmosphere through his use of light and color. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical mythology in the arts and highlights Van Poelenburgh's significant contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting. As such, it holds a place of importance in the study of 17th-century Dutch art, offering insights into the period's artistic trends and cultural fascinations.
