Description
Venus with Cupid as a Honey Thief against a Black Background. Painting on limewood. The girlish goddess of love with Cupid is a typical Cranach motif. Venus’ stance reveals how the artist returned to 15th c. forms. She represents coquettish eroticism that finds its expression in her direct gaze and transparent veil
