Groupe statuaire des trois Grâces

2nd century CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162
Les compagnes d’Aphrodite — Aglaé (la beauté), Euphrosyne (la joie) et Thalie (l’abondance) — sont représentées sous les traits de trois jeunes filles nues et enlacées dans une pose gracieuse, comme dans une frise. Nul ne connaît l’origine ni le premier auteur du sujet des trois Grâces, qui se répandit sans doute à partir de la fin de l’époque hellénistique. Quoi qu’il en soit, cette célèbre composition fut abondamment copiée dans le monde romain. Elle apparaît dans toutes les matières et sur tous types d’objets, de la monnaie aux sarcophages en passant par la mosaïque. Cette sculpture ornait peut-être un jardin ou un bain public.
