The Three Fates - This painting, titled "A Golden Thread," shows the Three Greek Fates. It was painted by British artist Jonathan M. Strudwick and first exhibited in 1885. It is housed in the National (Tate) Gallery of British Art in London. According to Greek, and later Roman mythology, the three fates determined the life span, represented by a thread, of each individual. Clotho (left) - young woman spun the thread, Lachesis (right - middle-age woman) measured it, and Atopos (middle- old woman) cut it.
