"The Rape of Proserpina" is a notable 17th-century painting by Flemish artist Simon de Vos. Completed in 1630, this work of art depicts the mythological abduction of Proserpina (also known as Persephone) by Pluto, the god of the underworld, a story derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The painting is a striking example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, dynamic composition, and emotional intensity.

Simon de Vos (1603–1676) was a prominent figure in the Antwerp art scene, having trained under the influential painter Cornelis de Vos, to whom he was related. He became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke at the young age of 21 and was known for his genre scenes, history paintings, and portraits. "The Rape of Proserpina" stands out among his oeuvre as a powerful interpretation of a classical theme, showcasing his ability to convey narrative and movement within his compositions.

The painting captures the moment of Proserpina's abduction with Pluto grasping her as she resists, surrounded by a flurry of activity and emotional expressions from various figures, including the nymphs and gods who witness the event. De Vos's use of color and detail brings the scene to life, while also reflecting the Baroque interest in the exploration of human emotions and the dramatic potential of mythological subjects.

"The Rape of Proserpina" by Simon de Vos is housed in a notable art collection, though the specific location may vary as the painting could be part of temporary exhibitions or loans. As a significant work by de Vos, it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and as an example of the rich artistic traditions of the Flemish Baroque period.
