## Commentary

This is another version of the highly successful series on the Danaë theme produced by Titian&#39;s workshop. When compared to the version he painted himself, the difference in quality becomes evident. The distorted face of Danaë and her cord-like hair mock any attempt to compare her with the skillfully lit head of the Danaë in Madrid.
