Venus and Amor (also known as Venus and Cupid) is a c. 1524 painting by the German painter and printmaker Hans Holbein the Younger conserved in the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung Basel Germany. Although the work is Holbein’s earliest mythological painting depicting the Roman goddess of love Venus with her son Amor (Cupid) the model is believed to be his friend Magdalena Offenburg. They are shown in front of a large hanging green curtain and behind a low parapet.
