"Danaë" is an oil painting by the French artist Jean François de Troy, a painter and tapestry designer who was active during the late Baroque period. Created in 1731, the artwork is a depiction of the mythological figure Danaë, a character from Greek mythology who was the mother of the hero Perseus by Zeus. The painting is part of de Troy's body of work that often included mythological and historical scenes, characterized by their vibrant colors, skilled composition, and a blend of classical and Rococo styles.

In the myth, Danaë was the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos, who, after hearing a prophecy that he would be killed by his grandson, locked Danaë away in a bronze chamber or tower to keep her from conceiving any children. However, Zeus, enamored by her beauty, came to her in the form of a shower of gold and impregnated her, leading to the birth of Perseus. De Troy's painting captures the moment of Zeus's visitation, showcasing Danaë's beauty and the divine encounter in a sensual and opulent manner, which was typical of the Rococo period's artistic themes.

The painting is notable for its use of light and texture to convey the richness of the scene, with the golden light representing Zeus's presence and the luxurious surroundings emphasizing Danaë's royal status. The work reflects de Troy's mastery of the academic art tradition while also highlighting the transition to the more decorative and intimate Rococo style. "Danaë" by Jean François de Troy is an important example of 18th-century French painting, illustrating the continued fascination with classical mythology and its adaptation to reflect contemporary tastes in art.

Jean François de Troy's "Danaë" is housed in a notable art collection or museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. The painting is often analyzed in the context of its era, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time.
