This sculpture is Bernini's 'The Rape of Proserpina'. The sculpture denotes a time in Greek mythology when Pluto, the god of the underworld, kidnaps (a more accurate term than "rapes") the goddess Persephone (known in Roman mythology as Proserpina). Bernini captures the moment Pluto has picked her up, ready to carry her off to her destiny. There is a look of terror on her face, while Pluto seems amused at her hopeless struggles.

Cast in designer resin for home and garden display.
