Clark writes that "For some reason the nakedness of the Graces was free from moral opprobium, and in consequence they furnished the subject through which pagan beauty was first allowed to appear in the 15th century".<ref name="Clark, 86">Clark, 86</ref> Indeed, a large marble Graeco-Roman group, which was a key model in the Renaissance,<ref name="Clark, 86"/> when it was in the [[Piccolomini Library]], is now displayed in [[Siena Cathedral]].

The Charites are depicted together with several other mythological figures in [[Sandro Botticelli]]'s painting ''[[Primavera (Botticelli)|Primavera]]''. [[Raphael]] also pictured them in a [[Three Graces (Raphael)|small painting]] now in the [[Musée Condé]] ([[Chantilly, Oise|Chantilly]], France). Among other artistic depictions, they are the subject of famous sculptures by [[Antonio Canova]] and [[Bertel Thorvaldsen]]. The vast majority use a variant of the closed group pose.

A group of three trees in the [[Calaveras Big Trees State Park]] are named "The Three Graces" after the Charites.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://search3.famsf.org:8080/view.shtml?keywords=three%20graces&artist=&country=&period=&sort=&start=1&position=2&record=6820 |title="The Three Graces", Calveras Big Tree State Park |publisher=Search3.famsf.org:8080 |access-date=2010-03-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090724043501/http://search3.famsf.org:8080/view.shtml?keywords=three%20graces&artist=&country=&period=&sort=&start=1&position=2&record=6820 |archive-date=2009-07-24 }}</ref>
