Danaë (1554) is a celebrated painting by the Italian Renaissance master Tiziano Vecellio, commonly known as Titian. This work is one of several versions of the Danaë theme that Titian created, depicting the mythological story of Danaë, the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos. According to Greek mythology, Danaë was imprisoned by her father to prevent her from conceiving a child, as an oracle had foretold that her son would kill him. However, Zeus, the king of the gods, transformed himself into a shower of gold to visit Danaë, resulting in the birth of Perseus.

This particular version of Danaë, completed in 1554, was commissioned by Philip II of Spain, who was an avid patron of Titian's work. The painting exemplifies Titian's mature style, characterized by his masterful use of color, light, and texture. The composition captures the moment of divine visitation, with Danaë reclining on a sumptuous bed, her body partially covered by luxurious drapery. The golden shower, representing Zeus, cascades down towards her, creating a dramatic interplay of light and shadow.

Titian's rendering of Danaë is notable for its sensuality and the artist's ability to convey the tactile qualities of flesh and fabric. The painting also reflects the influence of Venetian art, with its emphasis on color and atmospheric effects. The figure of Danaë is imbued with a sense of both vulnerability and divine grace, embodying the complex interplay of human and divine elements that is central to the myth.

The 1554 Danaë is part of a series of mythological paintings known as the "poesie," which Titian created for Philip II. These works were intended to be visual equivalents of poetry, exploring themes of love, beauty, and transformation. The Danaë series, in particular, showcases Titian's ability to blend classical mythology with the sensuousness and emotional depth that characterize his oeuvre.

Today, the 1554 Danaë is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its artistic brilliance and its evocative portrayal of mythological themes.
