''Danaë'' by Hendrick Goltzius is a renowned example of Northern Mannerist art, created by the Dutch printmaker and painter in 1603. This oil on canvas painting depicts the mythological figure Danaë, who was visited by Zeus in the form of golden rain, leading to the conception of the hero Perseus. Goltzius's rendition is celebrated for its sensual portrayal of the subject and its intricate use of light and shadow, which highlights the artist's skill in manipulating textures and surfaces to evoke both the tangible and ethereal.

The painting measures 121 cm by 91 cm and is part of a series of mythological works by Goltzius that explore similar themes of divine interaction and human sensuality. It is housed in the collection of the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna, Austria. ''Danaë'' is often discussed in the context of Goltzius's transition from engraving to painting, and it showcases his ability to adapt the detailed engraving techniques to the broader strokes of oil painting.

Goltzius's ''Danaë'' is not only a masterful representation of a popular mythological narrative but also an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Dutch Golden Age painting. It reflects the influence of Italian art on Northern European artists of the time and demonstrates Goltzius's engagement with the human form, as well as his interest in classical antiquity and its revival during the Renaissance. The painting is frequently analyzed for its eroticism, use of allegory, and the complex interplay of divine myth and human emotion.
