Le Figlie Di Danao Prostrate Supplichevoli Avanti Il Simulacro Di Giove A Argo, translated as "The Daughters of Danaus Prostrate Before the Statue of Jupiter at Argos," is a notable work by the distinguished British sculptor and draughtsman John Flaxman (1755–1826). Flaxman, renowned for his neoclassical style and his contributions to the decorative arts, created this piece as part of his extensive series of illustrations for classical literature.

The work is an illustration that depicts a dramatic scene from Greek mythology, specifically from the story of the Danaides. According to myth, the Danaides were the fifty daughters of Danaus, who were ordered by their father to kill their husbands on their wedding night. The illustration captures a moment of intense emotion and supplication, as the daughters are shown prostrate before the statue of Jupiter (Zeus) in Argos, seeking divine intervention and mercy.

Flaxman's illustration is characterized by its clear, linear style and the use of minimalistic yet expressive lines, which was a hallmark of his work. This approach not only reflects the influence of classical art but also emphasizes the emotional gravity of the scene. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures of the Danaides arranged in a manner that draws the viewer's eye towards the central figure of the statue, symbolizing the divine presence and authority of Jupiter.

This piece is part of Flaxman's larger body of work that includes illustrations for Homer’s "Iliad" and "Odyssey," as well as Dante’s "Divine Comedy." His illustrations were highly regarded for their ability to convey complex narratives and emotions with simplicity and elegance. Flaxman's work had a significant impact on the visual arts of his time, influencing both contemporary artists and the broader neoclassical movement.

Le Figlie Di Danao Prostrate Supplichevoli Avanti Il Simulacro Di Giove A Argo exemplifies Flaxman's mastery in blending classical themes with his distinctive artistic style, making it a significant contribution to the art of illustration and the neoclassical canon.
