"Venus und Amor als Honigdieb" (Venus and Cupid as Honey Thief) is a painting by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. Created around 1530, this artwork is a fine example of Cranach's distinctive style, characterized by its delicate figures and intricate detailing. The painting depicts the mythological figures Venus, the goddess of love, and her son Cupid, engaged in a playful scene. Cupid, known for his mischievous nature, is shown stealing honey, which serves as a metaphor for the sweetness and potential pain of love.

Cranach's work often explored themes from classical mythology, and this painting is no exception. The scene is imbued with symbolic meaning, reflecting the dual nature of love as both delightful and potentially harmful. The composition is typical of Cranach's work, featuring elongated figures and a harmonious blend of colors. Venus is portrayed with an air of serene beauty, while Cupid's youthful exuberance is captured in his playful gesture.

The background of the painting is lush and detailed, providing a rich context for the figures. Cranach's use of color and texture adds depth to the scene, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The painting is also notable for its attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of fabrics and natural elements.
