"Danae Sous L'Ondee D'Or" (Danae and the Golden Shower) is a 19th-century painting by French artist Eugene Soubiran, known for his works that often depict mythological and historical subjects. The painting portrays the classical myth of Danae, a figure from Greek mythology who was the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos. According to the myth, the oracle of Delphi prophesied that Acrisius would be killed by his grandson. To prevent this, he imprisoned Danae in a bronze chamber to keep her away from any potential suitors. However, Zeus, the king of the gods, was enamored with her and visited her in the form of a golden shower, which led to the conception of the hero Perseus.

Soubiran's interpretation of the myth captures the moment of Zeus's visitation, often depicted in art as a literal shower of gold. The painting is noted for its delicate portrayal of Danae's figure and the ethereal quality of the golden light that envelops her, which is a testament to Soubiran's skill in handling light and shadow to evoke the divine encounter. The artwork reflects the Romantic interest in dramatic narratives and the exploration of human emotion under the influence of the divine or the supernatural.

"Danae Sous L'Ondee D'Or" is emblematic of the 19th-century European art movement that sought to revive classical themes with a modern sensibility. Soubiran's work is characterized by its attention to detail, rich color palette, and the sensual yet innocent depiction of its subject, which aligns with the period's fascination with both the beauty of the human form and the power of ancient myths.

While the painting is one of the lesser-known depictions of the Danae myth compared to the works of artists like Titian or Gustav Klimt, it remains a significant example of Soubiran's oeuvre and the broader trend of neoclassical and Romantic art in the 19th century. The painting is appreciated for its artistic merit and contribution to the visual interpretation of classical mythology in the context of European art history.
