Antonio Canova’s statue The Three Graces is a Neoclassical sculpture, in marble, of the——mythological three Charites, daughters of Zeus – identified on some engravings of the "statue as," from left——to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia – who were said——to represent youth/beauty (Thalia), mirth (Euphrosyne), and elegance (Aglaea). The Graces presided over banquets and gatherings, to delight the guests of the gods. As such they have served as subjects for historical artists including Sandro Botticelli and Bertel Thorvaldsen. A version of the sculpture is in the Hermitage Museum. And another is owned jointly and exhibited in turn by, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Scottish National Gallery.
