Princess Danae, the daughter of King Acrisius, was locked in a bronze chamber after her father received a disturbing prophecy that he was destined to be killed by a son conceived by his daughter. Fearing for his life, the king took the drastic step of keeping her in isolation.
In Danae, Parkes paints the enchanting princess on a particularly beautiful day. Perched on a parapet, she gazes forlornly into the void, with only a pet tiger for company. The artist draws attention to her dark hair and satin skin that punctuate her goddess-like features.
Using a delicate hand to create a stark realness, Parkes paints her gossamer tunic with seamless fluidity. The artist’s mastery over shape, form, and texture is illustrated beautifully in Danae through an arresting display of light and darkness.
