This article deals with the artistic representations of Moirai (Greek) and Fatae (Roman) goddesses, who are depicted as the texture of life and the functioning of fate in Classical Greek and Roman mythology, and their descriptive evolution in painting. In this article, which uses qualitative research method, it aims to shed light on the place of this subject in art history by focusing on the concepts of "Fate" and "Death", the historical and mythological background of Moiras, and the representation of these figures by painting artists, by using literature review and painting analysis techniques. Moiras, as representatives of fate and death, have an important place not only in mythological narratives but also in various branches of art. These figures, which we frequently encounter in works produced within the framework of painting, have been handled and interpreted by various artists in different periods of this art. When the necessary literature review was made, it was seen that these goddesses were frequently mentioned in both mythological stories and artistic works, and that they came to the fore as a representation in terms of concretizing fate and death, especially in mythological narratives. When many artists who used these goddesses symbolically in their paintings were examined, it was seen that although there were similarities in the themes used when depicting the figures, there were significant differences due to the effects of the artistic period they lived in and the styles and approaches they used.
