Painting

If I remember correctly, during the Florence art gallery sequence, we see a painting featuring a female figure, possibly a nymph and possibly underwater, with something like flowers or foliage streaming from her open mouth. Can anyone identify this painting?

Hi, mr_orange95. I guess you're talking about the beautiful 'The Birth of Venus', by Sandro Botticelli.

Actually, the painting I meant -- I've since found the answer to my own query -- was Botticelli's PRIMAVERA (SPRING).
