It is currently displayed as a part of Gemäldegalerie, Berlin permanent exhibit. Although the painting remains unsigned, the style and composition is highly indicative of being a legitimate Rembrandt. Painted in around 1631, The Abduction of Proserpina has largely been attributed to Rembrandt. It was painted in 1570, and spent most of its life residing in the Villa Salviati after being commissioned by the Salviati family. This painting on a large wooden panel is entitled The Abduction of Proserpine. When Persephone was picking flowers in a field, Hades emerged on his chariot from a crack on the earth, and carried off the unwilling Persephone only Hecate and Helios witnessed the abduction, and later told Demeter. Hades wished to make her his wife, so he got permission from her father Zeus and help from Gaia to abduct her into the Underworld. Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter.
