''Danaë and the Shower of Gold'' is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian, completed around 1544–1546 as part of a series of mythological paintings called "poesie" for the Spanish Habsburg king, Philip II. This work is based on the myth of Danaë, as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his ''Metamorphoses''. According to the myth, Danaë was the princess of Argos and the mother of the hero Perseus by Zeus, who visited her in the form of a shower of gold.

Titian's rendition of the myth is notable for its sensuality and the use of color, which was a hallmark of the Venetian School. The painting captures the moment of Zeus's arrival, with Danaë reclining on a bed, her body illuminated and the golden light emphasizing her vulnerability and beauty. The inclusion of an elderly nursemaid, who attempts to catch the gold with her apron, adds a touch of realism and contrast to the otherwise divine encounter.

The work is celebrated for its innovative composition and its psychological depth, as Titian explores themes of desire, wealth, and the divine intervention in human affairs. The use of chiaroscuro and the soft modeling of Danaë's flesh demonstrate Titian's mastery of oil painting techniques, which contribute to the lifelike quality and emotional resonance of the scene.

"Danaë and the Shower of Gold" has been influential in the history of art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists with its bold portrayal of a classical subject and its exquisite execution. The painting is part of a rich tradition of Renaissance artists engaging with classical mythology to explore complex human emotions and experiences.

Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. It remains an important example of Titian's late work and a testament to the enduring power of mythological subjects in visual art.
