Grupo escultórico de las Tres Gracias

2nd century CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162
Las doncellas de Afrodita: Aglaya (Belleza), Eufrosine (Júbilo), y Talía (Abundancia), aparecen bajo la guisa de jóvenes desnudas en una elegante postura similar a un friso. Se desconoce quién inventó y dónde se originó esta manera de representar a las Tres Gracias, pero es probable que tuviera su génesis en el periodo helenístico tardío. Esta composición fue una de las más famosas y copiadas en el mundo romano, en todos los materiales y en toda clase de objetos, desde monedas hasta sarcófagos o mosaicos. La escultura aquí ilustrada tal vez fue colocada en un jardín o en un baño público.
