 Three Women: the Penis
Three are The Ladies in the Magic Flute, the envoys of The Queen of Night, symbol of the maternal womb.
It is very interesting to notice that whereas three women are represented naked, at least one of them is shown with her back turned to the spectator, concealing her genital and exposing her rear to the viewer’s glance.
The representation of three naked women, and one or two of them exposing the buttocks - and sometimes also the hip - instead of the front, means: “You see we have no penis in the genital, nor in the rear, nor in any other part of our body.

 The Three Graces by RAFFAELLO Sanzio
The figurative powers which Raphael developed in Florence led to a more synthetic conception of form, a refinement of intellectual expression, which are visible in the Knight's Dream in the National Gallery, London, and the Three Graces of Chantilly.
The theme of the paintings may by drawn from the poem, Punica, by Silius Italicus, which was well known in antiquity and which humanistic culture restored to fame.
It was probably not based on living models, however, but on the classical sculpture group of the Three Graces in Siena.

 The Three Graces
They were the special attendants of the divinities of love, Aphrodite and Eros, and together with companions, the Muses, they sang to the gods on Mount Olympus, and danced to beautiful music that the god Apollo made upon his lyre.
Their marriage explains the traditional association of the Graces with the arts; like the Muses, they were believed to endow artists and poets with the ability to create beautiful works of art.
The Graces were rarely treated as individuals, but always together as a kind of triple embodiment of grace and beauty.

 The Three Graces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Antonio Canova’s statue The Three Graces is a Neo-Classical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charites, daughters of Zeus – identified on some engravings of the statue as, from left to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia - who were said to represent beauty, charm and joy.
The three goddesses are shown nude, huddled close together in embrace, their heads almost touching in what many have referred to as an ‘erotically charged’ piece.
Unlike compositions of the Graces, which were derived from antiquity (where the outer figures turn out towards the viewer and the central figure embraces her friends with her back to the viewer) - Canova's figures stand side by side, facing each other.

 CHARITES (GRACES), Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
Of all deities, the CHARITES (GRACES) are the nearest related to Aphrodite, who wore in battle (during the Trojan War) a clothing made by them when she was wounded by Diomedes 2.
They were given the adornment of personal appearance, and the embellishment of each part of the body; consequently, they are the very incarnation of beauty and grace.
In the sanctuary, the CHARITES were worshipped in the form of stones that fell from heaven in the time of Eteocles 2 [Pau.9.38.1].

The Three Graces is one of the artist's final works.
He had portrayed this theme several times since about 1620, but only later adopted the form that prevailed in classical Antiquity, with the three figures forming a circle so that one of them has her back to the spectator.
Rubens' late painting of three nude figures magnificently illustrates the artist's extraordinary handling of incarnate or human flesh tones.

 CHARITES - Greek goddesses of beauty, mirth, the Graces, mythology, pictures - KHARITES   (Site not responding. Last check: )
THE KHARITES (or Charites), also commonly known as the Graces, were three goddesses of grace, beauty, adornment, mirth, festivity, dance and song.
The three Kharites were usually depicted in classical sculpture and mosaic as three naked women, holding hands and dancing in a circle.
The idea of personified grace and beauty was, as we have already seen, divided into a plurality of beings at a very early time, probably to indicate the various ways in which the beautiful is manifested in the world and adorns it.
