克拉納赫作為德國文藝復興的地方畫家，早期作品展現對古典主題和人體結構的探索熱情。他參與宗教改革者的圖像建立過程，後期作品使用均勻用光，創造出與其夏娃圖像相似的維納斯圖像類型(Venus-like Eve)。這個北方女性裸像，融合人文主義與宗教改革在日耳曼地區的圖像與觀念的發展，見證時代對女性觀看模式與品味的改變。本研究梳理學界對克拉納赫的研究，在宗教祭壇畫與政治肖像畫的文獻基礎中，分析克拉納赫女性形象—「聖潔萬福聖母」、「眾生之母夏娃」，及後期衍生出的「希羅女神維納斯」、「維納斯與邱比特」圖像類型。研究者認為克拉納赫從不同的主題圖像典故中，建立了一套內容與物件相互挪用的快速創作模式，許多的圖像物件組合都可以在不同主題的畫作中重複看到。克拉納赫發展出介於「理性的道德」與「誘惑的凝視」間的構圖，利用勸喻的的文字說明，賦予女性形象教化人心的功用。
