description:
The first of Holbein's mythological works, this painting shows Venus, the Roman goddess of love, with Amor (Cupid) clutching love's arrow. The work entered the Amerbach collection in 1578, where the inventory records that it depicts a member of the Offenburg family. The model, the same used for Holbein's Darmstadt Madonna and for his Lais of Corinth, has been identified with Magdalena Offenburg, who may have been Holbein's mistress. Holbein's Lais (right) was painted a year or two after Venus and Amor and, in effect, acts as a companion piece, though Holbein does not appear to have originally planned the second painting. In the later portrait, the sitter is portrayed as a courtesan, who takes money in return for her affections; according to some scholars, it may therefore contain a coded message by Holbein about his relationship with Magdalena. Art historian peter Claussen, however, dismisses this interpretation as "pure nonsense". Both paintings employ the same colours and depict the same costumes and drapery. Holbein adopts the style of Leonardo and the lombard muralists, whose work he may have studied during a visit to Italy. He uses Leonardo's sfumato (smoky) technique to smooth the contours of the faces and limbs, as well as the device of the parapet to set the subject back from the viewer.

description:
This painting portrays the famous Lais of Corinth, a courtesan of ancient Greece who charged a high price for her favours. It has been suggested that Holbein is also referring to the Lais who was the lover of Apelles, the great painter of antiquity (Holbein was called "Apelles" in humanist circles). The model, the same used for Holbein's Darmstadt Madonna and for his Venus and Amor (right), has been identified as Magdalena Offenburg, who may have been Holbein's mistress. Holbein's Lais was painted a year or two after Venus and Amor and, in effect, acts as its companion piece, though Holbein does not appear to have originally planned the second painting. According to some commentators, the portrayal of the sitter as a courtesan may contain a coded message by Holbein about his relationship with Magdalena. Art historian peter Claussen, however, dismisses this interpretation as "pure nonsense". Both paintings employ the same colours and depict the same costume and drapery. Holbein adopts the style of Leonardo and the lombard muralists, whose work he may have studied during a visit to Italy. He uses Leonardo's sfumato (smoky) technique to blend the skin tones, as well as the device of the parapet to set the subject back from the viewer.
