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![]()

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。![]()
