前面说到Zeus变成天鹅追美女。这次他又看上了Danae。
故事二:Zeus变成一阵黄金雨
女主角是Argos(古希腊的一个城邦,位于伯罗奔尼撒半岛东北部)的公主。Zeus见了她,色心又起。化作一阵黄金雨,进入Danae香闺。成了好事。他们的儿子也是一个人物,叫做Perseus,就是杀了Medusa的那位。

Danaë by Gustav Klimt, painted 1907. Private Collection, Vienna。表现性爱的美好是这位象征主义画家的拿手好戏。
真人和艺术的PK!
顺便欣赏他的那幅The Kiss![]()
The Kiss 1907–1908. Oil on canvas. Österreichische Galerie Belvedere
画这个故事最给力的要数Titian了。前前后后挂出来的正品就有4幅之多。![]()

Dabae,Titian, 1553-1554, Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg
Danae,Titian and workshop, 1564. Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna。正在想如果我也有这位老兄这样的workshop,然后一大帮弟子包括Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso。。。。。。(当然在他们未成名前),起好稿子,最后我“润色”、签名。那样的话,紫屋这个名头在艺术史上会有多么响亮泥?![]()
Correggio's Danaë, 1531–1532,Galleria Borghese,Rome。柯力乔老兄也不甘落后。记得前面他画的那副Leda and the Swan吗?
下面的Tintoretto 也有一拼。
Danae, oil on canvas painting by Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594), Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, France![]()
Rembrandt's Danaë, c. 1636,Hermitage Museum,Saint Petersburg。这幅画在Hermitage遭到了一个疯子的严重破坏,后来花了两年时间修复(具体请看该博物馆网站的描述 http://www.hermitagemuseum.org/html_En/04/b2003/hm4_3_2a.html)
下面这幅是François Boucher 的作品。这幅比较chaste。。。。。。
。。。。。。比起这幅也是他画的Leda and the Swan来。
这副画里是不是有一些Rococo的淫荡色彩透露出来?同样看全裸的大卫,怎么就感觉不到这份淫味尼?![]()
But, after all, please allow me borrow someone else's word: If it wasn't for lust we'd be extinct. Yo! to Boucher for cashing in:-)
这幅也是Boucher画的。![]()
