Jupiter en Danaë 1861 - 1889

This is a black and white lithograph by the German artist William Unger, known for his Neo-Classical style. The piece, titled "Jupiter en Danaë", is a depiction of the Greek myth in which Zeus, disguised as a shower of gold, seduces Danaë. The artwork is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and was created between 1861 and 1889. Unger's use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and evocative scene, highlighting the sensuality of the subject matter.
