DANAE BY CORREGGIO PAINTINGS- FROM ROOM 9 TO ROOM 20

3.11

So let's dive into Borghese Gallery starting with the early 16th-century painting entitled Danae by Correggio, a great master from Parma. This is one of the most erotic paintings in history: with an explicit gesture, and the help of Love pulling at her sheets, the girl welcomes Zeus, who takes her in the form of golden rain: every curve of her soft body is an invitation for love.

This masterpiece is part of the cycle of "Zeus' loves": four canvases that Correggio painted at the behest of the Duke of Mantua, Vincenzo Gonzaga.
