Dude, seriously? It's a statue. Made of stone. Inanimate. How can it be hot?

 

no, it's not hot. because it's carved stone.

 

I get a little tingle out of it, but I am a history freak so it could be that. Regardless it is an amazingly beautiful piece.

 

hot no!.its stone. but my compliments ta the artist,cos its one hell of a great sculpture.

 

Just a personal opinion, but I could never find anything "hot" that depicted rape.

 

It is "rape" in the old-fashioned sense, carrying someone off, not forcible penetration. Not that that's good either, but keep in mind, the statue depicts mythological characters, not real people.

In the myth, Pluto abducted Proserpine to marry her and live in the underworld. Jupiter forced Pluto to free Proserpine, but she had to live 3 months each year in the Underworld, which is the origin of winter. Anyway, check out Wikipedia on it, there's a bit more to it than that. But the point is, it is a sculptural rendition of a Greek myth.

Oh, and it still isn't hot. It's beautiful artwork. That's it.

 

Its a cool statue I would like to see it.

 

Call it "the kidnap of Proserpine" or "Proserpin'e abduction". It doesn't matter. If it's against someone's will, it isn't hot. Great art, yes. Sexually stimulating, never.

 

Rape of Proserpine??

Shit man, where's you people getting all this shit?
