Danae, or The Tower of Brass
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edward Coley Burne-Jones that transports viewers to the enchanting world of 19th-century art. This masterpiece, measuring an impressive 231.1x113 cm, can be found in the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow. The painting depicts Danae, a figure from Greek mythology who was imprisoned in a tower by her father to prevent her from bearing children. However, Zeus managed to enter the tower disguised as golden rain and impregnated Danae with his child Perseus. Burne-Jones skillfully captures this moment of divine intervention and forbidden love through his meticulous brushwork and rich color palette. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the intricate details that make it truly remarkable. The play of light on Danae's delicate features evokes a sense of vulnerability while simultaneously highlighting her beauty and strength. Burne-Jones was one of the leading figures of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood art movement during this period. His work often explored mythological themes with a focus on idealized beauty and romanticism. This print allows us to appreciate every nuance of "Danae, or The Tower of Brass" capturing its essence for all art enthusiasts to enjoy. It serves as a reminder not only of Burne-Jones' exceptional talent but also showcases how art has the power to transport us into different worlds and narratives across centuries.
