The painting “Jupiter and Danae” was created by the Dutch artist Joachim Eytewal, based on the well-known mythological history. The size of the picture is 205 x 155 cm, wood, oil.
The painting “Jupiter and Danae” amazes spectators with a kind of drama that permeates the whole scene. In contrast to the greedy old maid on a similar canvas by Titian, Eytale in his painting depicted a servant, ready to whip the mighty Jupiter with a stick. Also, the artist believably reflected the perplexity and confusion of the frightened Danae.
