Description
-
This image depicts the abduction of Proserpina. Pluto, the god of the Underworld, had been shot by one of Cupid’s arrows which made him fall in love with the first woman he saw. The first woman he saw was Proserpina, the daughter of the goddess Ceres. Pluto is depicted stealing Proserpina in this image and taking her back to the Underworld with him on his chariot. The figure on the right side of the image is the fountain nymph named Cyane. Cyane tried to stop Pluto from abducting Proserpina, which is illustrated in this engraving as she is reaching out towards Proserpina. Pluto uses Cyane’s fountain to create a passageway to escape down to the Underworld.
