| - | Cranach was equally successful in somewhat naive [[mythological scene]]s, in which at least one [[slim]] [[female figure]], naked except for a [[transparent]] [[drape]], and perhaps for a large hat, nearly always features. These are mostly in narrow upright formats; examples are several of [[Venus (goddess)|Venus]], alone or with [[Cupid]], who has sometimes stolen a honeycomb, and complains to Venus that he has been stung by a [[bee]] (Weimar, 1530; Berlin, 1534). [[Diana]] with [[Apollo]], shooting a bow, and [[Heracles|Hercules]] sitting at the spinning-wheel mocked by [[Omphale]] and her maids are other such subjects. A similar approach was taken with the biblical subjects of [[Salome]] and [[Adam and Eve]]. These subjects were produced early in his career, when they show Italian influences including that of [[Jacopo de' Barberi]], who was at the court of Saxony for a period up to 1505. They then become rare until after the death of Frederick the Wise. The later nudes are in a distinctive style which abandons Italian influence for a revival of Late Gothic style, with small heads, narrow shoulders, high breasts and waists; what [[Kenneth Clark]] has termed the [[Alternative convention]]. The poses become more frankly seductive and even [[exhibitionist]]. | + | # [[slender|Slender]]: [[thin]] in an attractive way. |
