"Venus vraagt Jupiter om hulp" (Venus asks Jupiter for help), created by the Master of the Dice, is an etching depicting a scene from Roman mythology. The artwork shows Venus, the goddess of love, pleading with Jupiter, the king of the gods, to help her find her lost son Cupid. The image features other deities, including Mercury, the messenger of the gods. The artist's use of line and detail creates a sense of movement and drama, capturing the urgency of Venus's plea. This print, dating to around 1530-1560, can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
