"Proserpine" (Hollstein 370; Strauss 424; Bialler 30) is a notable engraving by Hendrick Goltzius, a distinguished Dutch printmaker, draftsman, and painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Goltzius, renowned for his virtuosity in engraving and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through his works, created "Proserpine" as part of his exploration of classical mythology and its themes. This particular piece, dating from the late 16th century, depicts the moment from Roman mythology when Proserpine (also known as Persephone in Greek mythology) is abducted by Pluto, the god of the underworld, a story that has been a source of inspiration for many artists throughout history.

The engraving is characterized by Goltzius's intricate line work and exceptional attention to detail, qualities that have cemented his reputation as one of the foremost engravers of his time. The composition skillfully balances dynamic movement with delicate expressions, capturing the drama and emotion of the mythological scene. Goltzius's use of light and shadow, along with his ability to render textures and fabrics, brings a remarkable depth and realism to the work.

"Proserpine" not only showcases Goltzius's technical prowess but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic interests of the late Renaissance period in the Northern Netherlands. The piece is emblematic of the era's fascination with classical antiquity, its myths, and its lessons, serving as both an artistic achievement and a cultural artifact.

As part of Goltzius's oeuvre, "Proserpine" contributes to our understanding of the artist's thematic interests and his role in the transition from Mannerism to the more naturalistic styles that would dominate European art in the 17th century. The engraving remains a subject of study for art historians and a prized piece among collectors of Renaissance prints, illustrating the enduring appeal of Goltzius's artistry and the timeless stories from classical mythology.
