Cupid complaining to Venus. 1525

This 1525 painting by German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, in a whimsical scene. She stands in a lush landscape, reaching for an apple from a tree, while Cupid, the god of desire, approaches her with a basket of apples. Venus's delicate figure is contrasted with the rugged landscape and the deer in the background, suggesting a harmonious balance between nature and human beauty. The detailed depiction of flora and fauna reflects Cranach's signature style, known for its vibrant colors and naturalistic details. This artwork is now housed in the National Gallery in London, UK.
