Classic Sculpture Bust Proserpina Marble Pasta Art Bazzanti Florence Vintage

The large bust represents the reproduction of Proserpino (Perséphone in Greek mythology), goddess of the underworld and of the spring renaissance, hija of Demeter and birth of Hades. The symbol of the eternal cycle of the estaciones, Proserpina embodies the mystery of life and death, of light and darkness, of the seed that dies on the earth to be reborn.

The sculpture highlights the delicate and serene characteristics of the loved one, the classic composition of the body and the men, and above all the rich hair, collected in an elaborate hairstyle. Fascinating details: as in the ancient gray and Roman statues, once prolíchrome animated, here the hair is also colored with a golden patina, testifying the tradition of giving life to the figures with colors and gold.
