This is the first version of the Danaë series, was painted by Titian. Based on the mythological figure of Danaë. According to Ovid, she was isolated in a dungeon. Danaë was seduced and became pregnant by Zeus (in Roman mythology Jupiter), who descending from Mount Olympus and enticed her as a shower of gold. Titian has depicted Danaë with the fleshy body of a courtesan, although she is given the facial features of a graceful contemporary Venetian lady, with a voluptuous figure. Her legs are open in all, with her left leg arched; this being a central painterly motif. The left side of the canvas is an interior right side, Eros standing. The Danaë series have been highly influential and affected the work of Rembrandt, Anthony van Dyck and Gustav Klimt, who all painted versions of the scene.
