Yes, but that's not how it goes. A sculptor was going to make a sculpture of Aphrodite to put in her temple. After he was done with it, he fell in love with the statue's beauty. So, he made a different statue, a little less beautiful than the other one to put in Aphrodite's temple. Then, Aphrodite saw the love he had for the statue and she made the statue come alive.

What is difference between the neoclassical painting and romantic painting?

The neoclassicists held the belief that man was the supreme power of all, the center of all thought and truth. And also often has serious, heroic, and moral themes. It is very realistic. An example would be Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii. As said by Alexander Pope, "the proper study of mankind is man." They held strictly to reason and order, to intellect and precision. They attempted to achieve perfection. Opposing them was the next era, however, of romanticism. Romantics, in direct opposition to the previous age, believed in the guiding forces of nature. Is a reaction to neoclassicism and the Enlightenment. It focused more on the individual imagination and sought to evoke strong emotions and also has ties to the French Revolution. Look at Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. They believed that nature held all truth, and didn't search for such in science and mathematics as the neoclassicists did. They were impassioned and fond of beauty, as well as myth.
