Lamp of the Three Graces
The Lamp of the Three Graces (Spanish: Farola de Las Tres Gracias) is a sculpted lamppost next to San Martín Square, in the historic centre of Lima, Peru. It is based on a marble work of Germain Pilon, a French Renaissance sculptor, where the Three Graces are holding the heart of Henry II of France.This piece, declared as part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 2018, has a height of 4.75 metres (15.6 ft), considering its pedestal, figure and luminaires. The sculpture has undergone several moves throughout its history, from its initial location in the courtyard of the old Teatro Principal, where it was possibly installed around 1874, to Union Square, then Merced Square and ultimately its final location in front of San Martín Square in 1915.The sculpture was restored by the Municipality of Lima in a four-month period in late 2019, under the Mayoralty of Jorge Muñoz Wells.
