Once again, so far, this isn’t in the list of works, by this artist, in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Venus with Cupid the Honey Thief (links show their Wikipedia pages) is shown, with a slightly-different-coloration, click-to-enlarge image, plus 3 other different coloration, maybe click-to-enlarge images, by its current-location page (clicking Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings will show the translated inscription).A detailed description can be found in 5 pages of a current-location document, starting here.Googling Cupid Venus Honey "Lucas Cranach" will list several different paintings (images) where the artist used this theme, currently, 11 of which, including this, are documented by Wikimedia. 3 that aren’t (click for maybe-click-to-enlarge, last may be slow to load)
are documented here (actually on loan), here, and here (has detailed description; subject of video, and auction video). There probably are more. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).Fifth work, by this artist, including 3 of the 4 works (list link above), so far, in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to appear here.
Well, to my mind, the only thing missing from this painting is a big Black Dog. Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way, watch your honey drip, can’t keep away.

All I know for sure is there isn’t any story about a little boy who saved the town by putting his finger in a cougar…

I want to know what her sign says…I’m sure what I’m able to decipher has nothing to do with what it actually says!
