Danaë by Rembrandt, 1636
A nude woman reclines on a canopy bed, turning her head toward a golden glow while an elderly woman peers through the curtains and a winged putto hovers at upper right. Warm, low-key light and rich brown shadows define the figures, with a red cloth draped over a table in the foreground.
