"Abduction of Proserpina on a Unicorn" is a woodcut print created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1516. This work is part of a series of illustrations made for the book "The Metamorphoses" by the Roman poet Ovid, which was a collection of mythological tales. The woodcut depicts the moment from classical mythology when Pluto, the god of the underworld, abducts Proserpina (also known as Persephone), the daughter of Ceres (Demeter), the goddess of agriculture and fertility.

In Dürer's rendition, Proserpina is shown being carried away by Pluto, who is riding a unicorn, a symbol of purity and grace, which adds a layer of complexity to the scene, as the unicorn is traditionally considered a creature that can only be tamed by a virgin. The image is rich with allegorical elements and reflects Dürer's masterful ability to blend Northern Renaissance artistic techniques with classical themes. The woodcut is characterized by its intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the interplay of light and shadow, which were hallmarks of Dürer's prints.

The "Abduction of Proserpina on a Unicorn" is an example of Dürer's skill in conveying narrative through the print medium and his capacity to infuse his works with both the humanist ideals of the Renaissance and the detailed observation of nature that was typical of Northern European art. This print, along with others in the series, helped to disseminate classical stories throughout Europe and contributed to the Renaissance's revival of interest in ancient mythology. It remains an important work within Dürer's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
