A beautiful lifesize bronze sculpture of The Three Graces, after Canova and dating from the late 20th C.

This sculpture was beautifully hotcast in solid bronze and has a striking Verdigris patinaton.


The style of this sculpture is elegant and there is a delicate beauty about it. The composition of the Graces was derived from antiquity, where the outer figures turn out towards the viewer, the central figure embraces her friends and the three slender female figures become one in their embrace, united by their linked hands and by a scarf which links them. The unity of the Graces is one of the sculptures main themes.

This high quality hot cast solid bronze was produced using the traditional "lost wax" process, otherwise known as the "cire perdue" method.
 

Condition:

In really excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation.

More
Antonio Canova’s statue The Three Graces is a Neoclassical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charities, daughters of Zeus – identified on some engravings of the statue as, from left to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia - who were said to represent youth/beauty (Thalia), mirth (Euphrosyne), and elegance (Aglaea). The Graces presided over banquets and gatherings, to delight the guests of the gods. As such they have served as subjects for historical artists including Sandro Botticelli and Bertel Thorvaldsen.
A version of the sculpture is in the Hermitage Museum, another is owned jointly and exhibited in turn by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Galleries of Scotland.

Lost Wax Method
sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.

In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
