Notes |
Friedländer, Rosenberg (1978) Nr.: FR246A Deutsch: Dieses von Cranach in ca. 30 Varianten gemalte Motiv geht auf das 19. Gedicht Keriokleptes (Honigdieb) der sog. Idyllen des Dichters Theokrit (um 270 v. Chr.) zurück. Hierin schildert er, wie Amor beim Stehlen von Honig von den Bienen gestochen wird und er den Schmerz bei seiner Mutter Venus beklagt, die ihm antwortet „Du bist den Bienen gleich, da du so klein bist und doch so große Schmerzen verursachst.“ Venus weist Amor darauf hin, dass die Wunden seiner Pfeile schmerzhafter seien als Bienenstiche. Theokrit betont in seiner Erzählung die Macht Amors, ohne zu moralisieren. Cranach versieht alle Varianten des Themas mit einer moralisierenden Inschrift, die vor der Wollust der Venus und ihren verderblichen Konsequenzen warnt. [1] |
