The Rape of Proserpina is a marble statue made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1621/1622, when he was 23 years old. It shows the rape of Lady Proserpina. Amazing is both the detail of both panic and disgust on Proserpina’s face, and the detail on the hands/skin at the place Proserpina is held. The detail of expression/skin provides evidence Bernini Studied this extensively.
