EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a fisherman" created around 1550 by Coecke van Aelst, Pieter. Measuring an impressive 330x50 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Spain. The tapestry depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses (XIV, 649) and is part of the series "Vertumnus and Pomona". The design and models were crafted by the circle of Pieter Coecke Van Aelst and Leonard Thiry. Originally one large piece, it was later divided into three fragments, with this particular panel being on the right side. Richly colored in gold, wool, and silk threads, this Flemish artwork beautifully portrays classical mythology. It features various plants surrounding a pond where Vertumnus has been transformed into a fisherman to win over Pomona's affection. The abundance of fruit symbolizes fertility while Cupid playfully hovers above them. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate embroidery on Pomona's skirt to the delicate folds of fabric on Vertumnus' handkerchief. The backdrop showcases stunning Renaissance architecture that transports viewers back to ancient Rome. This print captures not only the artistry but also highlights elements such as fashion, decorative arts, textiles, and nature prevalent during the early modern era. It serves as a testament to Coecke van Aelst's talent as well as his contribution to Western art history.
