The Three Graces are the
beautiful sister Goddesses who attended Aphrodite, the Goddess of love
and were personifications of grace and beauty. They spread the joy of
nature and lived on Olympus. Their names, number and parentage vary, but
they are generally said to be three sisters named Euphrosyne, who represented
jollity, Thalia identified with abundance, and Aglaea, a representation of
splendor.
The Three Beauties are
daughters of Zeus and Eurynome or Hera. They influenced artists throughout the
ages. They were depicted in sculpture and vase paintings by the ancient
Greeks, in Roman wall paintings at Pompeii, in Botticelli’s allegorical
painting known as Springtime, and in this statue which Canova carved in
marble. In art they are frequently represented as naked girls with their hands
on each other's shoulders, the two outer figures looking one way and the
middle one looking the other.
