Three Graces Greek Relief Sculpture PLAQUE Louvre Musee
Item No. 5067
Reproduced after an ancient original from the Louvre Museum, Paris. ca. 100 B.C.
They 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. They 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 a marble statue carved by Canova. 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.
Made of cast stone and hand stained with antique finish.
