THE THREE GRACES
Artists throughout the ages have found The Three Graces, or charities an appealing and captivating subject. They were the beautiful sister goddesses who attended Venus, the goddess of love. they were an ancient symbol of liberality. It was Aglaia, a representation of splendour, who was the sister who gave away; Euphrosyne, who represented jollity, was the sister who received and Thalia, identified with abundance, was she who gave back. Their prominence in the world of art is quite amazing. 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 the statue which Antonia Cavona carved in marble c 1814. Cavona was the foremost Neoclassical sculptor in Europe and this work is displayed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London This miniature 3,1/2 inches high version, sculpted by D'Silva, is new for 2005 and was directly inspired by Cavona's great work |
