Venus by Lucas Cranach

Venus by Lucas Cranach

Lucas Cranach the Elder often turned to mythological subjects. Venus portrayed many times and it is always a charming naked woman.

The painting “Venus”, where the hair of the goddess of love is decorated with a precious net, and the neck – with a necklace. Venus shyly holds a transparent veil and looks seductively at the viewer. Her body is idealized, perhaps because at that time artists rarely used nude models. Nude female figures were depicted only in narrative or mythological scenes.
