Image description

by John James Rouby (Plymouth 1750- Rome 1812). The original painting was in the palazzo of the King of Naples at Capo di Monte and is now in the museum there. According to mythology Danae, daughter of Acrisius, king of Argos, was imprisoned in a tower by her father because of a prophecy that her son would kill him. In the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses he tells of the God Jupiter coming to her as a shower of gold. Their offspring was Perseus, who indeed accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus.
