前麵說到Zeus變成天鵝追美女。這次他又看上了Danae。
故事二:Zeus變成一陣黃金雨
女主角是Argos(古希臘的一個城邦,位於伯羅奔尼撒半島東北部)的公主。Zeus見了她,色心又起。化作一陣黃金雨,進入Danae香閨。成了好事。他們的兒子也是一個人物,叫做Perseus,就是殺了Medusa的那位。

Perseus with the head of Medusa, by Antonio Canova, completed 1801 (Vatican Museums)
看看藝術家們如何表現這個神話故事。
Danaë by Gustav Klimt, painted 1907. Private Collection, Vienna。表現性愛的美好是這位象征主義畫家的拿手好戲。
真人和藝術的PK!
順便欣賞他的那幅The Kiss
The Kiss 1907–1908. Oil on canvas. Österreichische Galerie Belvedere
畫這個故事最給力的要數Titian了。前前後後掛出來的正品就有4幅之多。
Danaë with Eros, 1544. This painting shows the youthful figure of Eros alongside Danaë. 120 cm × 172 cm. National Museum of Capodimonte, Naples
Danaë with Nursemaid, 1553–1554. Here, an ageing nursemaid has replaced Eros, while the cloth covering Danaë's upper thigh is absent, leaving her naked. 129 cm × 180 cm. Museo del Prado, Madrid
Dabae,Titian, 1553-1554, Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg
Danae,Titian and workshop, 1564. Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna。正在想如果我也有這位老兄這樣的workshop,然後一大幫弟子包括Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso。。。。。。(當然在他們未成名前),起好稿子,最後我“潤色”、簽名。那樣的話,紫屋這個名頭在藝術史上會有多麽響亮泥?
Correggio's Danaë, 1531–1532,Galleria Borghese,Rome。柯力喬老兄也不甘落後。記得前麵他畫的那副Leda and the Swan嗎?
下麵的Tintoretto 也有一拚。
Danae, oil on canvas painting by Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594), Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, France
Rembrandt's Danaë, c. 1636,Hermitage Museum,Saint Petersburg。這幅畫在Hermitage遭到了一個瘋子的嚴重破壞,後來花了兩年時間修複(具體請看該博物館網站的描述 http://www.hermitagemuseum.org/html_En/04/b2003/hm4_3_2a.html)
下麵這幅是François Boucher 的作品。這幅比較chaste。。。。。。
。。。。。。比起這幅也是他畫的Leda and the Swan來。
這副畫裏是不是有一些Rococo的淫蕩色彩透露出來?同樣看全裸的大衛,怎麽就感覺不到這份淫味尼?
But, after all, please allow me borrow someone else's word: If it wasn't for lust we'd be extinct. Yo! to Boucher for cashing in:-)
這幅也是Boucher畫的。
Danae receiving Jupiter as a shower of gold. Alternate title(s): The Sleeping Danae Being Prepared to Receive Jupiter.
Danaë. Hendrik Goltzius, 1603, Oil on canvas, 173.3 × 200 cm (68.23 × 78.74 in), Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles
Danae And The Shower Of Gold, Leon Francois Comerre, Musée Du Petit Palais, Paris, France
現在來欣賞Rodin的Danae
換一個視角
下麵是Picasso的詮釋
