EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Brueghel the Younger's masterpiece, "The removal of Proserpine" a stunning painting from the 16th-17th century. The artwork, housed in Madrid's Museo del Prado, depicts a scene inspired by mythology and Hell itself. Brueghel skillfully captures the moment when Proserpine, also known as Persephone or Core, is abducted by Pluto (Hades), god of the underworld. The artist's Flemish style brings this mythological tale to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. In this particular scene, we witness Proserpine being whisked away in a chariot pulled by grayling creatures. The landscape surrounding them is both enchanting and eerie—a blend of natural elements and fantastical imagery that adds depth to the narrative. As our eyes explore every corner of this painting, we are drawn to a cityscape in the distance—an intriguing addition that offers another layer of interpretation. Brueghel masterfully combines religious symbolism with pagan themes throughout his work. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this breathtaking piece through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Brueghel's talent and immerse themselves in the rich history behind "The removal of Proserpine. "
