EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of mythology. Painted by Lucas Cranach, the Elder, between 1520 and 1525, "Venus and Cupid" is a mesmerizing oil on panel masterpiece that measures 90x49.5 cm. Housed in the National Museum of Stockholm, Sweden, this German artwork showcases Cranach's exceptional talent. The image depicts Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, alongside her mischievous son Cupid. With his wings spread wide and bow in hand, Cupid playfully aims an arrow towards his mother's heart. The classical figures are portrayed with delicate precision as they stand against a northern landscape. Venus stands gracefully nude while holding a bow herself - a symbol of her power over love and desire. Her serene expression exudes timeless beauty as she gazes at her winged child with affectionate adoration. Cranach's attention to detail captures every nuance of their mythological presence. The painting beautifully combines elements from ancient Greek mythology with Northern Renaissance aesthetics. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of the enduring allure of classical myths that continue to inspire artists throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate Cranach's skillful brushwork and immerse ourselves in the fascinating world where gods and mortals intertwine through love's eternal dance.
