"Venus and Cupid" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1587 during the Northern Renaissance. This work exemplifies Goltzius's virtuosity in engraving, a technique that involves incising a design onto a hard surface, in this case, metal, by cutting grooves into it. The engraving depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, accompanied by her son Cupid, the god of desire, often portrayed as a mischievous child with a bow and arrow.

The composition of "Venus and Cupid" is notable for its intricate detailing and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which showcases Goltzius's skill in creating textures and depth. The figures are rendered with a high degree of naturalism and sensuality, a characteristic of Goltzius's work, reflecting the influence of his Italian contemporaries and the classical tradition. The engraving is also imbued with symbolic elements that were typical of the period, such as the apple in Venus's hand, which may represent the fruit of the Hesperides and allude to themes of love, temptation, and knowledge.

Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) was a leading figure in the Dutch Golden Age of printmaking and painting. He was known for his innovative techniques and the ability to convey the human form with great anatomical accuracy and expressiveness. "Venus and Cupid" is considered one of his masterpieces and contributes significantly to his reputation as one of the preeminent engravers of his time.

The artwork remains an important example of late 16th-century Dutch engraving and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Goltzius's oeuvre and the broader artistic developments of the era. "Venus and Cupid" is held in the collections of various museums and galleries, attesting to its enduring appeal and historical significance.
