Danäe is a 1531 painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Correggio. The painting portrays the Greek mythological figure Danae, the daughter of Acrisius, king of Argos. After an oracle forecasted that Acrisius would be killed by her son, he had her jailed in a bronze tower. However, as told by the Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses, Jupiter reached her in the form of a gold rain and made her mother to Perseus. Correggio portrays Danae lying on a bed, while a child Eros undresses her as gold rains from a cloud. At the foot of the bed, two putti are testing gold and lead arrows against a stone. It is Now in the Galleria Borghese in Rome.
