English summary: Mandy Richter's study is concerned with the afterlife of the "crouching Venus," an ancient genre of statue which has survived in more than thirty full-sized copies and versions. Re-introduced around 1500 by Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi (called "L'Antico"), the reception of the "crouching Venus" could be found in numerous artistic imitations that ranged from exact copies to artistic variations created up to 1570. On the basis of a representative sampling of case-studies, which always analyzes various thematic elements in context with ancient sculptural genres and incorporates as many artistic forms as possible, the fundamental points of the Venus' reception are traced through history and rooted in the context of each period. The goal of this work is the systematization of the various points of engagement with the "crouching Venus" genre through the aid of the concept "sacred love and profane love" (amor sacro e amor profano), within which the individual works are viewed from various stages of transmission. As a result, this project makes possible a better understanding of the interplay between ancient sculptures and artistic works from the first half of the 16th century and, by examining diverse perspectives, offers new interpretive possibilities about the reception of ancient art in the Renaissance. German description: Mandy Richter's Studie widmet sich dem Nachleben der Kauernden Venus, einem antiken Statuentypus, der heute in uber 30 grossplastischen Kopien und Varianten uberliefert ist. Um 1500 setzt mit Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi, genannt Antico, nachweislich die Rezeption der Kauernden Venus ein, und bis 1570 entstehen zahlreiche kunstlerische Imitationen, die von exakten zeichnerischen Kopien bis hin zu individuellen kunstlerischen Abwandlungen reichen. Anhand einer reprasentativen Auswahl an Fallstudien, die jeweils verschiedene Themenschwerpunkte im Umgang mit dem antiken Statuentypus exemplifizieren und nahezu alle Kunstgattungen umfassen, werden grundlegende Tendenzen der Rezeptionsgeschichte nachvollzogen und im Kontext der Zeit verankert. Ziel der Arbeit ist die erstmalige Systematisierung der verschiedenartigen Auseinandersetzungen mit der Kauernden Venus unter Zuhilfenahme des Konzeptes amor sacro e amor profano, innerhalb dessen die einzelnen Werke verschiedene Zwischenstationen oder Endpunkte einnehmen. Das Projekt ermoglicht somit ein besseres Verstandnis des Zusammenspiels von antiken Venus-Bildwerken und kunstlerischen Arbeiten aus der ersten Halfte des 16. Jahrhunderts und bietet durch den veranderten Blickwinkel neue Interpretationsmoglichkeiten.
