EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a pruner" created around 1550 by Coecke van Aelst, Pieter. The artwork measures an impressive 420x570 cm and is housed in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, Spain. The tapestry is part of a series depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, specifically inspired by Book XIV, line 647. It portrays the moment when Vertumnus, disguised as a pruner, approaches Pomona. The design and models were crafted by the circle of Pieter Coecke Van Aelst and Leonard Thiry in Brussels using gold, wool, and silk. Influenced by "The Dream of Poliphilo" this work beautifully combines elements of classical mythology with marvellous architectural garden settings. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene while intricate details such as fruit-laden trees and abundant foliage create an atmosphere of abundance. The tapestry also captures fashion trends of the early modern era with its depiction of clothing styles including hats, embroidered skirts, and sandals worn by both men and women. Additionally, columns reminiscent of ancient Rome add a touch of grandeur to the backdrop. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this Renaissance piece but also offers insights into European culture during that time period.
