Figures – Porserpina

Porserpina, Victoria and Albert Museum 2023

Figure from The Rape of Porserpina, which shows Pluto, the king of the underworld, carrying off Ceres’ daughter with whom he had fallen in love.  Statue in the V&A made around 1565; probably based on a model by Vincenzo de’ Rossi (1525-87).
