3Antonio Canova’s The Three Graces – Rome

Antonio Canova’s neoclassical masterpiece, The Three Graces, can be admired in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, but its Italian roots make it a significant part of Italy’s sculptural legacy.  

This marble sculpture captures the three daughters of Zeus – Aglaea, Euphrosyne, and Thalia – embodying grace, beauty, and charm. The fluidity of their intertwined poses and the delicate rendering of their features showcase Canova’s ability to breathe life and elegance into cold, unyielding marble.
