The Three Graces is a small painting which depicts three nude young women standing close together in a simple landscape.
“The Naked Maja” by Francisco Goya was a very controversial painting at the time, showcasing the artist’s bold exploration of sensuality and of the female form. One reason the painting was so controversial is that it was an unapologetic portrait of a nude woman, without hiding behind the false pretense of mythology or religion.
Andrea del Sarto's painting Leda and the swan shows the two protagonist in a tender embrace with their children playing at their feet.
