This reproduction of Auguste Rodin’s Danaïd is made in The Netherlands from resin, featuring hand-painted details. For lovers of art and mythology.
Inspired by the Greek myth of the Danaïds, the fifty daughters of King Danaos were condemned to the underworld after murdering their husbands on their wedding night. Their punishment was endless: carrying water in jugs to fill a basin with no bottom.
Rodin captures Danaïd in a moment of complete exhaustion, her body collapsed against a rock and her long hair spilling like water from her overturned vessel. A hauntingly beautiful depiction of eternal punishment.
