JPEG file comment | CRANACH, Lucas the Elder
(b. 1472, Kronach, d. 1553, Weimar) Venus with Cupid Stealing Honey 1529 Oil and tempera on red beechwood, 39 x 25 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York On the panel fixed to the tree the inscription in Latin reads: "As the Infant Cupid was stealing honey from the hollow, the bee stung the thief on the finger. Thus does brief and transitory pleasure harm us too: it is mingled with sharp pain." This refers to the nineteenth idyll Keriokleptes (The Honey Thief) of Theocritus (310-250 BC). Cranach executed at least fifteen versions of this scene the earliest being in the National Gallery, London.
