Danae, c. 1623. Creator: Orazio Gentileschi (Italian, 1563-1639)
Danae, c. 1623. Danaes father feared a prophecy that his grandson would kill him, so he imprisoned his daughter to protect her from suitors. Yet Jupiter, king of the gods, fell in love with Danae, and he came to her in the form of gold streaming from the sky. Gentileschi adopted Caravaggios method of painting directly from models, pulled to the front of the picture plane, which gives the painting a startling, tangible quality. However, the graceful way he handled paint and human gestures lends the work a poetic quality unique to the artist

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Danae" by Orazio Gentileschi transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a tale of love and imprisonment. The painting depicts Danae, a beautiful maiden imprisoned by her father due to a prophecy that foretold his demise at the hands of his own grandson. However, fate had other plans for Danae when Jupiter, king of the gods, fell madly in love with her. Gentileschi's artistic genius shines through as he skillfully adopted Caravaggio's technique of painting directly from models. This approach brings an astonishing realism to the artwork, making it almost tangible before our eyes. Yet amidst this startling quality lies an ethereal beauty unique to Gentileschi himself – evident in the graceful brushstrokes and delicate human gestures portrayed on canvas. This Italian masterpiece showcases not only Gentileschi's talent but also highlights Italy's rich heritage art scene during the 17th century. Painted using oil on canvas, "Danae" is a testament to Gentileschi's ability to capture both physicality and emotion within his works. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate and admire one of history's most renowned artists without commercial intent or affiliation. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has graciously shared this piece with us so we can delve into its narrative and marvel at its artistic brilliance.
