The model was nude with nothing to cover her modesty but body paint and a tiny pair of knickers.
She claims the shoot was a celebration of the Paris Games, as reported by NeedToKnow.
The model, who was on the cover of Danish Playboy in June, has since blasted police who she claims asked her to leave.
She said: “The opening of the Olympic Games can have Holy Communion with half-naked people, but I can’t do an outdoor painting? That’s hypocrisy.”
In photos, Ravenna can be seen posing on the steps with tourists milling about in the background.
The 23-year-old’s body paint was done by Morgane Depond, who drew the Olympic rings on her stomach.
The words “Paris 2024” can also be seen on her chest, and a variety of colours splashed across her body.
Ravenna also wore a yellow pair of knickers, paired with white socks with a rainbow pattern and pink trainers.
She claims police approached during the shoot and asked her to stop immediately.
The model said: “I wanted to create something that symbolized the unity and peace that the Olympic Games represent.
“Art must provoke, question and inspire.”
