The Three Graces Painting

S P E C I F I C A T I O N S: Antonio Canova’s Three Graces is one of the outstanding masterpieces of European sculpture. The composition is an icon of western art which stands at the end of an ancient tradition exemplified by the famous Roman group, Les Trois Grâces, in the Louvre which had been restored by Nicolas Cordier (1567-1612). Canova’s composition shows the three daughters of Zeus, king of the Greek gods. Each of the young women personify sacred gifts to humanity: Euphrosyne (mirth), Aglaia (elegance) and Thalia (youth and beauty). Canova’s three beauties face the viewer, gently embracing each other in harmonious gestures. The central Grace draws her sisters inwards whilst demurely tilting her head as her sisters look upwards, creating a gentle flowing cadence. The three are bound together by a single drape, which wraps around their arms and legs and falls in elegant swallow tail folds. Behind them stands a sacrificial altar, festooned with garlands, evoking the ancient Greek religion of which their father sits at the top of the Pantheon. Whilst the Graces were depicted in art throughout the ages, Canova’s composition has become so famous that it is now synonymous with the subject.
