Danaé

Danaé is an oil painting by French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson depicting the Greek princess Danaë being showered in gifts sent by Zeus. It was commissioned in 1798 to decorate the salon of a Parisian hôtel particulier, and is one of two paintings of Danaë by Girodet, the latter being the satyrical portrait of Mademoiselle Lange as Danaé. Today, the painting is in the collection of the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig.
