The Three Graces Connections Tree illustrates numerous frequently reciprocal connections maintained by Aglaia Coronio, Maria Zambaco and Marie Stillman.

It visually demonstrates that this trio of female artists lived and worked within a vortex of artistic figures associated with the Holland Park Circle and three generations of the Anglo-Greek community in London. It shows that the Three Graces, Aglaia (née Ionides) Coronio (1834-1906), Maria (née Cassavetti) Zambaco (1843-1914) and Marie (née Spartali) Stillman (1843-1927), were not incidental, but integral players in processes of artistic exchange in the period. The resource consists of a three dimensional connections tree and an annotations plane which provides details of each connection and integrated links to the Three Graces: Victorian women, visual art and exchange exhibition and catalogue. It illustrates Katie Jane Tyreman Herrington’s research into the roles of these female artists within the late nineteenth-century art world.
