"Venus with Cupid the Honey Thief" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. Painted in 1530, this oil on panel piece measures 81.3 cm by 54.6 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London. The painting depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, accompanied by her son Cupid, who is being stung by bees as he attempts to steal honey, symbolizing the sweet yet painful nature of love.

In this allegorical representation, Venus stands gracefully, embodying the ideal of beauty from the Renaissance period, with slender proportions and a serene expression. She is adorned with fine jewelry and a sheer veil, which adds to her allure while also highlighting Cranach's skill in rendering delicate textures. Cupid's distress from the bee sting serves as a moral lesson that even the gods are not immune to the consequences of their actions, a theme that resonates with the humanist thought of the time.

Cranach's work is characterized by his distinctive style, which includes elongated figures, a subtle use of color, and a focus on linear details. "Venus with Cupid the Honey Thief" exemplifies these traits and stands as a testament to Cranach's mastery of the Northern Renaissance style. The painting is also significant for its exploration of classical mythology through a contemporary lens, reflecting the artist's engagement with both the ancient world and the intellectual currents of his own time.

The artwork has been widely studied for its iconography, composition, and cultural context, contributing to the understanding of Renaissance art and its enduring influence. "Venus with Cupid the Honey Thief" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Lucas Cranach the Elder and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its rich layers of meaning.
