Painting Question

Does anyone remember the name of the painting Pilar describes when Antonio watches her? It was something about the god Jupiter, but I can't remember the name of the painting.

Thanks!

It's a painting by the Italian artist Titian, and depicts the myth in which Jupiter (the Roman name (or Zeus, in Greek) visits Danae in the form of a shower of gold. She had been locked in a tower, so that is the only way that the god can get access to her. I think there is an offspring as the result of his visit.

The title of the painting is Danae, and the name of the offspring is Perseus. And, of course, the film is awesome.
