EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture "Vertumnus and Pomona" created by Laurent Delvaux in 1725. The marble masterpiece, housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, transports viewers to a world of love and mythology. The artwork depicts a couple deeply engaged in courtship, set against the backdrop of ancient Rome. In this enchanting scene, Vertumnus, disguised as various characters to win over Pomona's affections, reveals his true identity. The artist skillfully captures their emotions and connection through intricate details that bring the mythological figures to life. Delvaux's work beautifully portrays the seductive power of love as well as the timeless themes of disguise and wooing. The sculpture exudes elegance with its expertly crafted nudity and delicate expressions that convey both vulnerability and strength. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from the 18th century, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and captivate our hearts even centuries later. It serves as a testament to Belgium's rich artistic heritage while also embracing European influences. Stefano Baldini's photograph impeccably captures every nuance of Delvaux's creation, allowing us to appreciate its beauty from afar. Through this image, we are transported into an era where gods walked among mortals and love was both divine and earthly – a truly mesmerizing experience for any admirer of fine art.
