Sandro Botticelli's 1486 Tempera painting The Birth of Venus has become a Florentine Renaissance icon that has withstood the test of time and is arguably his most famous piece. While not The Mona Lisa, the Roman Goddess of Love can be considered a top-tier contender for the title of "Mona Lisa of Florence", Venus on her shell is nearly as iconic as Mona and her smile (Small Reference Pools at work again). Because of this, imitations abound, and not just in the fine art world. People in Film, Comic Books, anime, manga, Video Games and Western Animation like to take the imagery of The Birth of Venus and create a parody - or rather "a burlesque" - of the famous painting. Characteristics include: A stunningly beautiful naked womannote Quality of beauty may vary in (something like) a Contrapposto Pose, her nudity often covered by her hair or her hands. Two people to the left, often either flying or levitating. One person to the right, often bringing her clothes. A giant scallop shellnote Either whole or on the half-shell for her to stand on. The reasons for this vary, ranging from being actual depictions of Venus (or her Greek counterpart Aphrodite), to illustrating the inherent beauty of a specific character, or maybe the creators wanted the viewer to think they were smart and cultured and picked something everyone would recognize. Sub-Trope of Art Subjects and other cases of Art Imitates Art like Pietà Plagiarism and Sistine Steal, as well as of Burlesque, the parodying of high-brow works. |

In Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, technician Appolonia once descends from heaven as Venus (complete with clam shell) to Fingal inside the simulation and intones the advice, "Thou shalt not screw around with things thou dost not understand." This is given no explanation whatever in the film. (In the original short story, it was because she could only control the simulation by causing strange phenomena.) | |

During the Other Miss Spink and Other Miss Forcible scene in Coraline, Other Forcible is shown onstage singing as a live version of Venus, the stage depicting the background and neighboring characters from the painting. This is mostly Played for Laughs, since the real-world person she is an imitation of is elderly and out of shape (punctuated by a dog in the audience howling when she is facing away from the audience). | |

Teacher's Pet: The title sequence includes a brief scene where Spot is standing inside a clam shell and posing like Venus while wearing his Scott disguise. "A Dog for All Seasons" features another instance of Spot posing in a clam shell like Venus during the song "Season of Love".

In the Futurama episode "A Bicyclops Built for Two", Alcazar gives Leela a tour of Cyclops City. One of the works of art he shows her is a mosaic depicting their Goddess of Beauty, depicted exactly like Venus in the famous Botticelli painting (except that she has purple hair and is a cyclops). It then revealed that there are five other identical cities on Cyclopia, each with minor differences that helps Alcazar sell the illusion to the women he seduces, one of which having a depiction of Venus with five-eyes. In the very beginning of the episode of "Love and Rocket", Bender criticizes the ship's A.I.'s conservative opinions towards nudity by asking if he would censor the Venus de Venus, a painting depicting a Horrible Gelatinous Blob as Venus in a similar pose as from the Florencian painting, while being named after the sculpture Venus de Milo. The ship does not care much for it. |

When Aphrodite appears in God of War III, she is spread out upon her bed, being "serviced" by her hand-maidens, her bed designed to look superficially like a giant clam. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The Cutie Pox", Apple Bloom catches a disease that makes her spontaneously develop new talents, but also compels her to perform those new skills immediately. When she develops a talent for sculpting, she carves a statue of a pony, in a scallop shell, posing like Venus. The pose is particularly silly in this case because there's nothing to cover on her chest anyway, and ponies don't normally wear clothes, either. | |

In an animation in Monty Python's Flying Circus, the original painting is shown, but then a giant disembodied hand appears and clicks on Venus's nipple like a radio knob. This makes her turn on like an electric toy and does a silly dance. | |

In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West (played by Miss Piggy) keeps her own version of Botticelli's painting hanging in her lair, with herself posing as Venus and one of her flying monkeys in place of Zephyr and his assistant. | |

Aphrodite from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess would often appear in a giant clam, and because it was The '90s, she would use a pair of ropes as a harness and surf with it to fit her Valley Girl personality. | |

In Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto, the girls despair over not being able to catch a photo of Sakamoto when they went to the beach. They look through the photos, only to find one with Megumi holding a sea-shell — and Sakamoto in the back, posing like the Birth of Venus, seaweed standing in for hair and feet perfectly positioned to look like he's standing on the shell. | |

A sculpture of Venus in this pose provides a clue in the third Rivers of London novel. Peter Grant, the snarky protagonist, describes it as "the Venus Aphrodite Surprised By A Sculptor And Struggling To Cover Her Tits With One Hand While Keeping Her Drape At Waist Level With The Other so beloved of artists in the long weary days before the invention of internet porn". | |

Ugly Americans: After the succubus Callie finishes molting, she is posed similarly◊ to this painting, with her standing over her former "skin", her hand covering her breasts and genitalia, her hair blowing in the wind, two people on her left, and Mark on her right rushing to throw a cloth over her. | |

Rat-Man was once stripped naked and gained extremely long hair and clamshell by someone saying "By the Power of Venus" within earshot while he was wearing a Planet Medallion. | |

In the Muppets reprint book Miss Piggy's Treasury of Art Masterpieces from the Kermitage Collection, there is a recreation of The Birth of Venus called The Birth of You Know Who, with Miss Piggy playing the role of Venus, Kermit as Hora of Spring and Statler and Waldorf as Zephyr and his companion. | |
