Although made shortly after Canova's celebrated reinterpretation of the subject, Marchino's Three Graces is a subtle reworking of the antique marble group in the Piccolomini Library in Siena Cathedral, or possibly the heavily restored version of the group in the Villa Borghese in Rome, now in the Louvre. \nMarchino (1785-1841) trained, like his brother Giuseppe Marchino under the ivory sculptor Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo (1745-1820), who left him his studio in Turin. He specialised in small-scale reductions in ivory of antique sculptures, which were apparently popular amongst travellers passing through Turin. \n\n\n","physicalDescription":"The Three Graces stand linking hands and arms on a rectangular ivory base.

Donor to the museum was Mrs Helen Huggett, London, in 1984, along with museum numbers A.13 and A.14-1984. According to the donor the three ivories were acquired by her ancestor, Charles Delves-Broughton (b. 1779) on the Grand Tour in about 1823, and were then given to his sister Elizabeth. Thereafter they were handed down from mother to daughter over five generations (handwritten note from the donor; Museum records).","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Figure group, ivory in relief, the Three Graces, by Giacomo Marchino (Marchini) di Campertogno (signed), Italian (probably Rome or Turin), dated 1823","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Thieme-Becker, <u>Allgemeines Lexikon….</u>, XXXVI, Leipzig, 1950, p. 69"},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Trusted, Marjorie, <u>Baroque & Later Ivories</u>, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, 2013, cat. no. 310, p. 313"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"The Three Graces","id":"N1545"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["A.12-1984"],"accessionNumberNum":"12","accessionNumberPrefix":"A","accessionYear":1984,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":["2019LT9159"],"recordModificationDate":"2025-11-13","recordCreationDate":"2004-01-16","availableToBook":true}}
