Persephone
Marshall Maynard Fredericks (1908-1998)
Bronze
Partial gift of the sculptor
Persephone, Greek goddes of spring and queen of the underworld, was allowed to spend six months of the year (fall and winter) with her husband, Hades, and six months above ground (spring and summer) with her mother, Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Interpreting the myth, Fredericks depicted the moment of her ascension from the world of the dead to the realm of the living, just as a plant sprouts below ground and emerges through the soil.
