"Venus and Cupid" is a woodcut by Lucas Cranach the Elder, created in 1506. The artwork depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, standing in a landscape with Cupid, her son, at her side. Cranach's characteristic linear style is evident in the fine lines and details of the figures and landscape. The woodcut's red coloring emphasizes the sensuality of the scene, making it a fascinating example of Renaissance art. The artwork is currently located at the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
