"Danaë" is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created between the years 1636 and 1647. This artwork is part of Rembrandt's exploration of classical mythology, depicting the moment from the Greek myth of Danaë, who was visited by Zeus in the form of golden rain. The painting is housed in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia, and is celebrated for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt mastered and employed to enhance the emotional depth and realism of his subjects.

The painting portrays Danaë, the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos, in a moment of vulnerability and anticipation. According to the myth, an oracle prophesied that Danaë's son would eventually kill her father. To prevent this, Acrisius imprisoned Danaë in a bronze chamber. However, Zeus, smitten by her beauty, transformed himself into golden rain to reach her, leading to the birth of the hero Perseus. Rembrandt's interpretation of the scene is imbued with a sense of intimacy and sensuality, highlighting his ability to convey complex human emotions and narratives through his art.

"Danaë" is notable for its rich color palette, intricate detailing, and the innovative use of light to focus the viewer's attention on the figure of Danaë herself. The painting underwent a significant restoration after being attacked with sulfuric acid in 1985, which has allowed for the preservation of its original vibrancy and detail. As a masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age, "Danaë" exemplifies Rembrandt's skill in blending mythological themes with his unique artistic vision, making it a pivotal work in the study of 17th-century European art.
