Renaissance Danae

This Danae is by the Flemish renaissance painter Jan Gossaert (ca.1478-1532) and from about 1527. Although its very erotic for its time you should notice that Danae's passion is reduced to a naked breast and legs, else she seemed a little bored.
Artists would learn a lot about that.

The Golden Shower

Danae visited by Zeus, who turned himself into a golden shower was a very poppular subject for artists since the Renaissance. Here the version a of a french painter called Alexandre Jacques Chantron (1842-1918).
