Venus: Roman Goddess of Sexual Love and Beauty. Her famous Renaissance depiction, birthed from sea-foam, belies her earlier association with Artemis as a Lady of the Hunt. Venus was also Goddess of the Oceans. The uppermost famous image, Venus rising from the seafoam, comes from wall frescos at Pompeii, the Italian coastal city where she was particularly venerated. Her worship by the Romans included temple instruction in sacred sexual techniques for achieving heightened spiritual consciousness. The metal associated with Aphrodite is copper which is abundant on the Isle of Cyprus, an early place of worship.
The classical Goddess Venus emerges from the water on a shell, blown towards shore by the Zephyrs, symbols of spiritual passions. According to some authorities, the naked goddess is a symbol not of earthly, but spiritual love. The modest pose is borrowed from the Venus Pudica type of ancient sculpture then being rediscovered.
This distinctly pagan depiction is remarkable in that it was made at a time and place when most artworks depicted Roman Catholic themes and is taken from the famous pagan themed work of Botticelli. Because Botticelli was very close to Lorenzo de Medici, his Birth of Venus painting was spared from Savonarola's fires (who burned much of his other pagan inspired works) and he escaped the disapproval of the Church.

Venus de Milo Statues: Speculations into what her missing arms held include a shield, a mirror, a dove, or a spindle, but most likely it was an apple (Melos means apple). Her award of the golden apple in the Judgment of Paris (beating out Hera and Athena) led to the Trojan War. From an inscription on its now-lost plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch [c. 130 B.C.E., The Louvre, Paris]
