What is the painting called and who is it's artist (if possible) where there is the naked girl on the clam with her hair flowing? ... I can see it but cant think of its name. This would be greatly appreciated

Is it Boticelli's Birth of Venus? Look here. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ricksteves.com/images/art/venus.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinations/italy/venflobks.htm&h=254&w=225&sz=22&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=WuRL5nGfqdXKSM:&tbnh=111&tbnw=98&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvenus%2Bshell%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

could be anything - try the following:
Birth of Venus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus_(Botticelli)
Venus Anadyomene - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Anadyomene
Venus emerging from the sea
http://www.opaintings.com/artists/titian/reproduction/2679/venus-emerging-from-the-sea.html
It was very, very a popular subject coz it was an easy portrait for the artist to paint and allowed the incorporation of female nudity at a time when such things were considered obscene.
Do a google search based on 'venus', 'sea', 'painting' - that's where I got the above links
Hope this helps
