This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Rape of Proserpine designed from a painting by Nicolo dell' Abbate shows Prosperpine who had been picking flowers in a field is suddenly spotted by Hades who develops extreme lust for her, rapes her and pulls her into his chariot and takes her to his home into the bowels of the earth. Demeter, who is Prosperine's mother, searches for her daughter far and wide, cannot find her, and is so distraught that she plunges the world into cold and darkness. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
