"Danaë" by Tiziano Vecellio, known in English as Titian, is a seminal work in the canon of European art, painted between 1544 and 1546. This masterpiece is part of a series of mythological paintings, often referred to as "poesie," that Titian created for Philip II of Spain. The painting depicts the myth of Danaë, as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his "Metamorphoses." According to the myth, Danaë, the princess of Argos, was locked away by her father, Acrisius, after an oracle prophesied that he would be killed by his grandson. However, Zeus, enamored by Danaë, visited her in the form of a golden shower, impregnating her and leading to the birth of the hero Perseus.

Titian's rendition of the myth is notable for its sensuality and the innovative use of color, which would come to characterize the Venetian School. The painting captures the moment of Zeus's arrival, with Danaë reclining, a posture that highlights her vulnerability and the eroticism of the scene. The use of light and shadow, along with the rich, vibrant colors, enhances the intimate atmosphere and the tactile qualities of the flesh and fabrics.

"Danaë" has been celebrated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its influence on the development of Venetian painting and its impact on the broader European artistic tradition. The work has undergone various interpretations, with scholars examining its themes of divine love, power dynamics, and the interplay between the mortal and the divine. Over the centuries, it has inspired numerous artists, making it a pivotal piece in the study of Renaissance art.

The painting has a complex provenance, having been part of various royal and private collections across Europe. Today, several versions and copies attributed to Titian and his workshop exist, with the original "Danaë" commissioned by Philip II held in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. Its historical significance, coupled with its artistic merits, continues to draw the attention of art historians, scholars, and the public, making "Danaë" by Titian a quintessential work of the Renaissance period.
