"Rape of Proserpine" is a renowned sculptural work by French artist François Girardon, created in the late 17th century. This baroque sculpture vividly depicts the mythological tale of the abduction of Proserpina (Proserpine) by Pluto, the god of the underworld, a story derived from Roman mythology that has been a frequent subject in the arts. François Girardon, born in 1628 in Troyes, was a prominent sculptor in the court of King Louis XIV and is celebrated for his contributions to the development of French sculpture during the Baroque era.

The sculpture stands as a testament to Girardon's mastery in capturing dynamic movement and emotional intensity. It portrays Pluto in a forceful pose, conveying both power and motion, as he abducts Proserpine, who is depicted with a striking expression of resistance and dismay. The work is noted for its intricate detailing and the lifelike portrayal of the figures, which exemplify Girardon's skill in working with bronze.

"Rape of Proserpine" was originally commissioned as part of the decoration for the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, where it not only served as an artistic piece but also as a symbol of the absolute power of the monarch. Today, the sculpture remains an important piece in the study of French Baroque art and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
