The Rape of the Hades Statue of Persephone is more accurately translated as the Abduction of Proserpina. The sculpture is a large Baroque marble group by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Also, this sculpture was created between 1621 and 1622.
Hades Rape Persephone Statue:
The famous marble sculpture depicts the abduction of Persephone. We all know that in Greek mythology, Persephone was captured by the god Pluto and taken to the underworld. The sculpture vividly depicts the abduction of Persephone by Pluto. And Cerberus symbolizes the borders of the underworld that Pluto entered with Persephone.
Details of the Persephone Statue:
Bernini achieves realistic effects in hard marble through superb engraving techniques. For example, the texture of the character’s skin, the rope of the hair, and the tears of Persephone are all very real. Especially the girl’s supple flesh. Additionally, we could see Pluto’s hands around Persephone’s waist.
Also, Persephone stretched out his arms and tried to escape. Pluto’s fingers were deeply pressed against the woman’s skin. The details are so stunning. Of course, our artists could also carve a highly restored statue of Persephone for you.
The Myth of Persephone:
The rape of Persephone is based on Latin mythology. In it, Persephone is picking flowers and she is in love with Pluto, the god of the underworld. Pluto spewed from the ground in a chariot drawn by four dark horses. Pluto forces Persephone to go with him into the underworld. Later, after negotiations, Pluto and Ceres would each own the Persephone for half a year. So, when Persephone is with Pluto, winter begins. When she lived with Ceres, it was spring on Earth.
