The Three Graces was painted in about 1633 by Francesco Furini, and is a work of art painted in oil, on canvas.
The Three Graces, were also known as the Charites, and were the minor goddess born from a relationship between Zeus and the Oceanid Eurynome. These three goddesses were the embodiment of joy and god festivity, and as a result were welcome guests at banquets and feasts. The Three Graces were just one of a series of goddesses welcome at such events, a series that included the Muses as well.
