Rembrandt - Danae (1636-1650)


Authentic or not, some still discuss it. Original? After a restoration someone says it has been replaced. A deranged man ruined it in 1985 and it is thought that the secret services are also behind it.
One certainty: in Dutch painting they have never been so bold with a nude! Rembrandt seems to have broken the mold of demure Northern European education.
A theme that has studied and reworked a lot is presented in this riot of drapes and fabrics.
