Prosper Mérimée in 1837 wrote "The Venus of Ille", where a statue of Venus gets a wedding ring and ends up (somehow) in bed with the poor groom, killing him. Clark Ashton Smith wrote a story about Venus, "The Disinterment of Venus", where a statue of her was dug up and disrupts the monastery, so a pair of monks go out to destroy it and are caught, fatally, in her embrace.
