''Danaë'' is a series of at least five oil paintings by the Italian Renaissance master Titian, completed between 1544 and 1565. The paintings depict the mythological princess Danaë, as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his ''Metamorphoses''. In the myth, Danaë is the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos, who, after receiving a prophecy that he would be killed by his grandson, locks Danaë away in a bronze chamber. However, Zeus, the king of the gods, is enamored with her and visits her in the form of a golden shower, impregnating her with the hero Perseus.

Titian's renditions of the Danaë theme are celebrated for their sensuality and mastery of color. The most famous of these works is the 1553 version, now housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. This particular painting was commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and is noted for its rich, golden tones and the sumptuous depiction of Danaë's reclining nude figure. The inclusion of an elderly woman, often interpreted as a nurse or a representation of the jealous watchfulness of the gods, adds a narrative element to the otherwise intimate scene.

The Danaë series marks an important development in Titian's artistic style, showcasing his transition from the High Renaissance to a more mature Mannerist aesthetic. The paintings are characterized by their dynamic composition, the use of chiaroscuro to create depth, and the soft, almost tactile rendering of flesh. Titian's innovative approach to the subject matter, focusing on the sensual rather than the divine aspect of the myth, had a profound influence on subsequent generations of artists.

Each version of Danaë in the series varies slightly in composition and mood, reflecting the evolution of Titian's style and the changing tastes of his patrons. The series exemplifies the Venetian Renaissance's preoccupation with mythological themes, allowing artists to explore human emotion and beauty under the guise of classical antiquity. Today, the Danaë paintings are regarded as masterpieces of 16th-century Venetian art and continue to be studied for their technical brilliance and their embodiment of the Renaissance spirit of humanism and exploration of the natural world.
