"Persephone" is a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Anthony Frederick Sandys (1829–1904), created in 1874. The artwork is a representation of the mythological figure Persephone, also known as Proserpina, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, who becomes the queen of the underworld after being abducted by Hades. Sandys' depiction of Persephone is emblematic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with classical mythology, as well as its penchant for detailed, vivid, and symbolic representations.

The painting portrays Persephone as a melancholic and ethereal figure, embodying the duality of her existence as both the goddess of spring and the queen of the dead. Sandys' use of rich colors and intricate details reflects the Pre-Raphaelites' rejection of the conventional artistic norms of their time, which favored a more restrained and classical approach to painting. Instead, Sandys and his contemporaries sought to revive the elaborate detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

"Persephone" is notable for its meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and flora, as well as its use of symbolism to convey the narrative of Persephone's dual life. The painting's composition, with Persephone holding a pomegranate – the fruit that bound her to the underworld – is a direct reference to the ancient myth and serves as a poignant reminder of her tragic fate.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of Pre-Raphaelite art. Sandys' "Persephone" remains a significant work within the oeuvre of the artist and the broader context of 19th-century British art, reflecting the era's cultural interests and aesthetic values.
