EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "Danae" a stunning representation of Greek mythology. Standing in all her glory, Danae is depicted in full length wearing a flowing white gown adorned with intricate golden details. The artist's use of watercolor, gouache, and gold paint on paper brings out the ethereal beauty of this mythological figure.

This painting captures a pivotal moment in her story when Zeus appears before her as a shower of golden rain.

The composition exudes elegance and grace while evoking a sense of wonderment through the portrayal of divine intervention. Photographed by ePeter Nahum at The Leicester Galleries in London, this image offers us an opportunity to appreciate the artistry behind this renowned piece from Burne-Jones' collection.
