This figure is a reproduction of the sculpture of the Three Graces by the famous sculptor Antonio Canova. Antonio Canova (1757 – 1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor and painter. His style was largely inspired by the art of Ancient Greece and his works were compared by his contemporaries with the best production of antiquity, he was considered the best European sculptor since Bernini.
The Carites in Greek mythology were the goddesses of grace, associated with Aphrodite. They are the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, and were called: Euphrosyne (“the joy”), Thalia (“the feast”) and Aglaia (“the radiance”). The three Carites or Graces have been a favourite subject of the visual arts and are often depicted naked embracing each other. In Roman mythology the Graces are known by these names: Chastitas, Pulchritudo and Voluptas, Chastity, Beauty and Desire. There are two opposing interpretations: Firstly, in Greek mythology they are a triad composed of three aspects of the same attribute; whereas in Latin mythology they represent three different archetypes of women.
