"Danaë" is a painting created by Austrian symbolist artist Gustav Klimt in 1907. It depicts the Greek mythological figure Danaë, who was said to be the mother of Perseus. According to the myth, Danaë was imprisoned by her father in a tower, but Zeus was so enamored by her beauty that he impregnated her in the form of a golden shower. In Klimt's painting, Danaë is shown lying on a bed with a golden blanket draped over her body, while golden drops of rain fall from above.

The painting is a prime example of Klimt's signature style, characterized by his use of gold leaf and decorative patterns. The female figure is shown in a sensual and vulnerable pose, with her arms raised above her head and her legs slightly apart. The intricate patterns on the golden blanket and the decorative motifs surrounding the figure add to the opulent and luxurious atmosphere of the painting.

"Danaë" was one of Klimt's most controversial works and was initially deemed too erotic for public display. It was eventually shown at the Vienna Secession exhibition in 1908, where it received mixed reviews. Today, it is considered one of Klimt's masterpieces and is housed in the Galerie Würthle in Vienna, Austria.
