Proserpine Long Postcard

This postcard features Proserpine, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The figure in this well known artwork represents Proserpine as the Empress of Hades. Proserpine was conveyed to Pluto's realm, where she became his bride. Her mother Ceres pleaded with Jupiter to return her to earth. Jupiter agreed providing she had not partaken of any of the fruit of Hades. However, she had eaten a single pomegranate grain and thus had to remain in the underworld. [shortcode][short-description], by Frederic Leighton. The painting is set in a favourite retreat for artists. Capri is shown here like a holiday picture, painted in the garden of the inn where many artists had stayed. Frederic was an English painter and sculptor. His works depicted historical, biblical, and classical subject matter and shown all over the world, including Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
