EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry "Vertumnus and Pomona" by Jan II Raes, dating back to around 1630. The artwork, measuring an impressive 520x330 cm, is part of the esteemed Gruppo Banca Carige Collection in Genoa, Italy. Drawing inspiration from Roman mythology, the tapestry depicts Vertumnus, the god of seasons and gardens, using a clever disguise to seduce Pomona into conversation within her orchard. The level of detail in this piece is truly remarkable; it portrays lush vegetation, architectural elements, and various animals amidst bountiful produce. The scene captures a laborer diligently tending to agriculture while growth flourishes all around him. Birds flutter among trees as a majestic peacock adds splendor to the composition. Angels and cherubs adorn the tapestry with garlands and trumpets while concealing Vertumnus' true identity. The artwork beautifully illustrates themes of farming, gardening, abundance, and natural beauty. It evokes a sense of tranquility as we observe a man and woman seated amongst drapery carrying baskets laden with pears, apples, grapes - symbols of fertility and prosperity. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph perfectly captures every intricate detail of this magnificent tapestry embroidery. Through her lens, we are transported into an enchanting world where mythological deities come alive amidst stunning botanical scenery.
