Gustav Klimt's "Danaë" is a famous painting created in 1907. It is part of his series of works that explored themes from Greek mythology, and it is considered one of his masterpieces. The painting depicts the mythological figure Danaë from Greek mythology.

Danaë was the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos. According to mythology, she was imprisoned in a bronze tower by her father to prevent her from having any children because a prophecy had foretold that her son would one day kill Acrisius. However, Zeus, the king of the gods, was enamored with Danaë and appeared to her in the form of a shower of golden rain that penetrated her chamber, impregnating her. From this union, she gave birth to a son, Perseus, who would go on to become a hero in Greek mythology.

In Klimt's painting, he captures the moment of Danaë's impregnation by Zeus. The image is highly sensual and erotic, characteristic of Klimt's style. Danaë is depicted lying on her back, her body covered in a cascade of golden, swirling patterns, symbolizing both the mythological shower of gold and the eroticism of the moment. The use of gold leaf and intricate patterns, a hallmark of Klimt's "Golden Period," adds to the opulence and sensuality of the composition.

"Danaë" is celebrated for its symbolic and erotic qualities, and it exemplifies Klimt's ability to blend mythology, sensuality, and intricate ornamentation in his art.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and a prominent figure in the Vienna Secession movement. His art is characterized by its distinctive and highly decorative style, marked by symbolism, sensuality, and intricate ornamentation.
