Ares and Aphrodite are depicted in a Renaissance painting by Florentine painter Botticelli. Ares, on the right, has fallen asleep so deeply that he appears unconcerned about the Satyrs with billy-goated feet who have surrounded him and are playing with his battle weapons. One of them blows into his ear with a conch shell. Three Satyrs play with his spear, one of whom wears his helmet, while a fourth, in front of the god, wears his armor and holds the sword’s hilt in his right hand. Aphrodite, resting, wears a magnificent, pleated garment and gazes towards Ares.

The painting was most likely created as a wedding gift for a member of the Vespucci family, one of the most powerful families in Florence. In fact, some researchers recognize Simonetta Vespucci as Aphrodite. Botticelli's influences from Greek mythology and ancient Greco-Roman sculpture are visible in both the subject matter and the portrayal of the individuals' traits.
