Painting Information
Klimt's return here to the mythological story of Danaë is interesting at this mid-point of his career, as in some ways the erotic pose and hair colouring of the model recalls the "Goldfish", c.1901/02.
Danaë was a popular topic with Renaissance painters, used as a symbol of the transfiguring effect of divine love. The subject was used notably by Titian and Rembrandt, whom Klimt would have studied as a student. Imprisoned by her father, King of Argos, in a bronze tower, Danae was visited by Zeus in a shower of gold and later gave birth to Perseus, the slayer of the Gorgon. Classical pictures of her were often erotic, hence Klimt's stunning work in which the Zeus shower is signified by a seminal stream of gold particles flowing between her legs as she curls in a royal purple veil, seen in earlier works such as Medicine's figure of Hygeia.
