"The Three Graces"

Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio Da Urbino) (i) - Oil (i) - Renaissance (i)

The Three Graces is an oil painting by Italian painter Raphael. The date of origin has not been positively determined, though it seems to have been painted at some point after his arrival to study with Pietro Perugino in about 1500, possibly 1503-1505. The image depicts three of the Graces of classical mythology. It is frequently asserted that Raphael was inspired in his painting by a ruined Roman marble statue displayed in the Piccolomini Library of the Siena Cathedral—19th century art historian Eugene Muntz held that it was a not very skillful copy of that original—but other inspiration is possible, as the subject was a popular one in Italy. Now in the collection of the Musée Condé, Chantilly.
