"The Three Graces" is a round painting on wood panel created by the Italian Renaissance artist Pinturicchio between 1504 and 1514. The painting, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts the three Graces, Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia, goddesses of beauty, joy, and good fortune, in a classical pose, their bodies intertwined. The painting's soft palette, delicate lines, and circular composition exemplify Pinturicchio's mastery of Renaissance art.
