"Danaë" is an oil painting by the French artist Ignace Henri Jean Fantin-Latour, completed in 1890. The painting depicts the mythological figure Danaë, who is often portrayed in art as the mother of the hero Perseus by Zeus. In the myth, Zeus visits her in the form of a golden shower, impregnating her while she is imprisoned by her father, King Acrisius of Argos, who was trying to avoid a prophecy that he would be killed by his grandson.

Fantin-Latour was known for his delicate still-life paintings, portraits, and imaginative works inspired by the music and literature of his time. However, "Danaë" represents a foray into the realm of classical mythology, showcasing the artist's versatility and his ability to imbue traditional themes with a modern sensibility. The painting is characteristic of Fantin-Latour's style, with a focus on realism and attention to detail, while also capturing the ethereal and dreamlike quality of the mythological subject.

The work is part of a long tradition of artistic interpretations of the Danaë myth, which has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, including Titian, Rembrandt, and Gustav Klimt, each bringing their own perspective to the story. Fantin-Latour's rendition is noted for its intimate and personal portrayal of the character, set against a dark background that contrasts with the luminosity of Danaë's figure.

"Danaë" by Fantin-Latour is held in a private collection, and as such, it has not been as widely studied or exhibited as some of his other works. Nonetheless, it remains an important example of the artist's engagement with classical themes and his skill in rendering the human form imbued with emotion and narrative depth.
