Persephone, dipinto acrilico originale del 2026 di Xiaoning Yu, ritratto contemporaneo su tela (50 × 40 cm) con finitura lucida, firmato a mano, proveniente dall’Italia, con certificato di autenticità incluso.
Descrizione del venditore
This painting is inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, reinterpreting the myth of Persephone through a more luminous and personal vision.
While Rossetti’s Proserpina is marked by the pomegranate as a symbol of captivity, here the goddess holds a peach — a soft, radiant fruit that evokes life, sweetness, and return. This shift transforms Persephone from queen of the underworld into a figure of renewal and spring.
The chromatic contrast enhances this duality: the deep emerald green of the dress meets the warm tones of copper hair and the glowing fruit, suggesting the passage from shadow to light, from winter to rebirth.
Her gaze, both dignified and enigmatic, gives the figure an almost sacred presence — suspended between classical mythology and contemporary sensitivity.
Materials: Acrylic paints (Maimeri, Italy), non-toxic
Support: Canvas on wooden stretcher (made in Italy)
Finish: Gloss protective varnish
Dimensions: 50 × 40 × 1.5 cm
Year: 2026, Italy
Authenticity: Signed certificate of authenticity included
Shipping: Carefully packaged, tracked international shipping
