"Venus and Cupid with a Honeycomb" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, created circa 1531. This painting is an exemplar of Cranach's mature style, which is characterized by its intricate detail, vivid color palette, and the elegant, elongated forms of the figures. The artwork depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, accompanied by her son Cupid, the god of desire. In this allegorical representation, Venus is shown holding a honeycomb, while Cupid is playfully reaching out for it, symbolizing the sweetness of love and the potential pain of its sting, as bees are often seen swarming around the honeycomb.

The painting is steeped in the iconography of the period, blending classical mythology with the humanist ideas that were prevalent during the Renaissance. Cranach's depiction of the nude Venus is both idealized and sensuous, a hallmark of the artist's oeuvre, and reflects the contemporary fascination with the classical past. The work is also notable for its fine execution and the use of glazes to achieve depth and luminosity in the flesh tones.

"Venus and Cupid with a Honeycomb" is part of a series of mythological and allegorical paintings by Cranach that explore themes of love, temptation, and morality. These works were highly sought after by patrons of the arts during the Renaissance and are considered significant contributions to the Northern Renaissance movement. The painting is a testament to Cranach's skill as a painter and his ability to convey complex themes through his art. It remains an important piece for the study of Renaissance art and the cultural context in which it was produced.
