EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ancient Greek myth of Persephone and Pluto, a tale that symbolizes the changing seasons from summer to autumn. In this image, we see Persephone (also known as Proserpina) looking dismayed as she rides with her husband Pluto (Hades) in his chariot to the underworld. According to mythology, Persephone must spend half of the year with Hades in the underworld, which brings about autumn and winter. It is only when she returns to the surface world in spring that new life blooms once again.
The intricate details of this print transport us back to classical Greece, where gods and goddesses ruled over every aspect of nature. The powerful imagery of Persephone's reluctance to leave behind the warmth and light of summer perfectly encapsulates the bittersweet transition into colder months.
As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are reminded of how ancient myths continue to influence our understanding of the world around us. The symbolism of Persephone's journey serves as a timeless reminder that change is inevitable and necessary for growth.
With its rich history and mythical significance, this print by Rights Managed is sure to captivate anyone with an appreciation for Greek mythology and classical artistry.
