"Pluto and Proserpine" is a painting by Francesco Melzi, an Italian Renaissance artist who was a pupil and close associate of Leonardo da Vinci. The artwork is believed to depict the mythological abduction of Proserpine (also known as Persephone) by Pluto (Hades), the god of the underworld, a popular subject in Renaissance art that symbolizes the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Francesco Melzi, born in Milan in the late 15th century, was not only a student of Leonardo but also his companion and executor of his estate. Melzi's style was heavily influenced by his master, and his works often reflect Leonardo's techniques and themes. "Pluto and Proserpine" is considered an example of this influence, showcasing Melzi's skill in capturing human emotion and movement, as well as his use of chiaroscuro and sfumato, techniques that Leonardo pioneered.

The painting itself is not as well-documented as some of Melzi's other works, and little is known about its commission, provenance, or current whereabouts. It is not mentioned in the most comprehensive sources on Melzi's oeuvre, and its existence is primarily known through art historical references and secondary sources that discuss Melzi's body of work in the context of Leonardo's influence.

As a result, the painting's significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of the transmission of Leonardo's style and techniques through his pupils, particularly Melzi, who is considered one of his most talented followers. The painting serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Leonardo da Vinci's tutelage and the ways in which his approach to art continued to resonate with and be interpreted by subsequent generations of artists.
