by Gaspero Bruschi | |
| This Italian porcelain statue dates back to 1750. Gaspero Bruschi was hired by the Doccia factory to reinterpret a Florentine bronze by Giovanni Battista Foggini. The statue depicts Pluto running through fire carrying Proserpina, Demeter's daughter, away to his palace in Hades. | ||
