Venus and the Three Graces Presenting Gifts to a Young Woman is a fresco of about 1483 to 1486 by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, originally created to decorate the Villa Lemmi, a country house near Florence owned by the banking family Tornabuoni. The fresco shows the goddess Venus accompanied by the Three Graces offering gifts to a young woman, believed to represent Giovanna degli Albizzi, and was likely commissioned to commemorate her 1486 marriage to Lorenzo Tornabuoni. The fresco was later detached from the villa wall and transferred to canvas, and it now hangs in the Louvre in Paris.
