Cupid raises a diaphanous veil to his eyes, but it blinds him no more than Venus’s drapery covers her nudity. Above Venus, a Latin inscription reads: “Once upon a time risen from the foam of the sea, I, Venus, was wafted ashore / Now, O Lucas, do I live reborn, thanks to your foam.” The ambiguities of the text have led to different interpretations, including “foam” as a reference to paint.\n
\n\n\tCranach updated this ancient subject by showing Venus with a necklace and a pearl hairband that were in fashion at the Saxon court in Wittenberg, Germany, where he was a painter for most of his career. By modernizing Venus’s appearance, Cranach presented contemporary heterosexual male viewers with a moral challenge of confronting lust.\n
