Giovanni (Gian) Lorenzo Bernini
(1598 Neapel - 1680 Rom) nach
Raub der Proserpina
Weißer Carrara-Marmor. Vollplastisch gearbeitete, italienische Replik (20. Jh.) nach der berühmten Marmorgruppe Berninis, die der Bildhauer 1621-1622 schuf und die sich seit 1908 in der Galleria Borghese in Rom befindet. Dargestellt ist eine Erzählung aus der römischen Mythologie, bei der Proserpina durch Pluto in die Unterwelt entführt wird: Auf einer rechteckigen Plinthe steht der vollbärtige, bekrönte Pluto als höchst muskulöse Aktfigur, der mit festem Griff die zarte Proserpina hochhebt, die sich mit Händen und Füßen verzweifelt wehrt; am Boden ein Zweizack als Attribut des Pluto, hinter ihnen sitzend der dreiköpfige Zerberus. Mit seiner dynamischen Komposition, die den Betrachter von einem einzigen Blickpunkt aus die Szene vergegenwärtigen lässt, prägte Bernini für 150 Jahre die Weise vergleichbarer Raubdarstellungen. Hoher, quadratischer, allseitig gerahmter Podestsockel, ober- und unterhalb durch Profilbänder gegliedert und mit vorkragender Fuß- und Deckplatte. H. ca. 132,5 cm; Sockel-H. 90,5 cm; Ges.-H. ca. 223 cm.
After Giovanni (Gian) Lorenzo Bernini (1598 - 1680). 20th C. Italian Carrara marble sculpture after the well-known artwork of the Rape of Proserpina by Bernini in the Galleria Borghese in Rome.
