This painting was made by Peter Paul Rubens about 1630 to 1635. It is commissioned by Philip IV and it's exhibited in El Prado Museum in Madrid. It is painted on oil on canvas. It is 221 metres high and 181 metres wide.
The theme of this painting is mythological. It is characterized by general sense of chastity. The Graces represent the daughters of Zeus, Aglaya (esplendour), Talia (calm) and Eufrósine (blooming).The Graces presided over banquets, dances and all pleasurable activities and celebrations, in short, everything in the world could have nice, pleasant, interesting, attractive ... The Graces granted to gods and mortals joy but not only but that eloquence, liberality and wisdom. They believed they had the ability to equip men of genius required to be an exceptional artist. The Graces were habitual company on Olympus Aphrodite and Eros and are closely related to the Muses with sporting to the sound of music played Apollo.
The Graces were young and very beautiful but mostly modest and used to wear bad hair collected because of the dances. They were always dancing and it is precisely the attitude of shaking hands and start dancing as shown plus art. At the beginning of Greek civilization you were dressed in fine robes then always appeared naked. Sometimes they have appeared among the most horrendous satyrs to designate that you can not judge people by their appearance and facial defects can be corrected with a good spirit. Rarely mentioned these goddesses is done individually. On the contrary, are the Greek representation of the triple goddess, present in many other mythologies of the world. They are connected through the arms, the transparent veil that covers them and their looks.

The position of this forms a triangle. The woman is the center is with her head back and supported by her partners. The three beautiful women are characterized by the exaggeration of their shapes. They are like three women of the Greek Mythology.
The painting stands out for the elegance with which the three figures are located. To the right there is a tree and above a flower garland. This one has hot colours with a bright background. There are also animals grazing.

When was it painted? Who commissioned it? What are its Baroque features? You don’t answer to many important questions: I don’t think you spent many time doing this. You’ve done little effort.

The theme of this painting is mythological. It is characterized by general sense of chastity. The Graces represent the daughters of Zeus, Aglaya, Talia and Eufrósine. You have to look for these names in English
And you should have explained their story: who were the three Graces?

Your mark here is another 4.
The only thing you've done is adding a video, but you don't answer to the questions I asked you. And the video should be in English. With this, you can't pass. You have to add things written by you. Answer to my questions and you will pass. If not, you will have the Baroque included in the exam.
