EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jan Gossaert dit Mabuse's masterpiece, "Danae. Jupiter turns into a golden rain to seduce the young woman". Painted in 1527 during the Flemish primitive era, this oil on wood artwork measures 95 x 113 cm and is currently housed in Munich's Alte Pinakothek. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, where Zeus transforms himself into a shower of golden rain to seduce Danae, an enchanting young woman. The artist skillfully portrays her vulnerability and allure as she gazes up at the mesmerizing spectacle above her. Gossaert's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, particularly in his rendering of Danae's naked form. Her body exudes sensuality and beauty while remaining tastefully depicted within the confines of classical artistry. The use of gold throughout the painting symbolizes both wealth and divine intervention. It represents Zeus' power and desire for Danae, enveloping her in a shimmering cascade that blurs the line between reality and mythological fantasy. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this timeless piece through his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details even from afar. This photograph serves as a testament to Gossaert's mastery as well as reminding us of the enduring allure of ancient myths brought to life through art.
