Klimt was inspired in this work by the Greek mythology. Danae was the daughter of the king of Argos, she was trapped by her father in a tower because she supposedly would cause his death. Zeus fell in love with her and he transformed in golden rain to penetrate the walls of the tower and make her him. The work represents Danaë replicated in she dreaming of golden rain.
