Their names, number and parentage vary, but they are generally
said to be three sisters named Euphrosyne, who represented jollity, Thallia
identified with abundance, and Aglaea, a representation of splendor. They
are daughters of Zeus and Eurynome or Hera. The three Graces profoundly
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.
