The Rape of Proserpina statue is a large Baroque marble sculpture group created by Italian artist Bernini between 1621 and 1622. It depicts Proserpina being captured by Pluto and kidnapped to the underworld.
The Essence of This Famous Marble Statue
By sculpting facial gestures and expressions, the artist’s emotions are actually perfectly reflected and clearly visible.
Pluto is known for its royal characteristics. He is a victorious god, proud and elated, his face framed by the outlines of his hair and beard. He looks lustfully at the girl, the shadow lines and eyes hinting at his desire, deeply carved by the artist.
His body is powerful and muscular, emphasizing the power of God. Proserpina’s cries, on the other hand, made her frown, intensifying her despair as she tried her best to escape.
Proserpina struggled in vain to escape Pluto’s erotic fury by pressing her left hand to the God’s face, while the God held his hand firmly and dug his fingers into the woman’s thigh and side.
It is in this detail that the realism of this sculptural group touches on virtuosity: the fingers of the god literally sink into Proserpina’s thighs and sides, enhancing the softness and fullness of the goddess’s flesh.
