EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate tapestry titled "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a fisherman" created around 1550 by Coecke van Aelst, Pieter. The tapestry, measuring an impressive 330x50 cm, is housed in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Spain. The artwork depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses (XIV, 649), where Vertumnus disguises himself as a fisherman to woo Pomona. The rich colors of gold, wool, and silk bring this mythological tale to life. The design and models were crafted by the circle of Pieter Coecke Van Aelst and Leonard Thiry. The right side panel shown in this print is part of the original tapestry that was divided into three fragments. It beautifully portrays Pomona surrounded by various plants and fruits while being courted by Vertumnus disguised as a fisherman. This Flemish masterpiece exemplifies the artistic style prevalent during the Renaissance period. The backdrop features elements from Roman mythology with references to love through Cupid's horn and abundance symbolized by cornucopia. Nature plays a significant role with phoenixes adorning textiles, adding an enchanting touch to the composition. This print captures not only the beauty but also the cultural significance of this exquisite piece of art from Western history. It serves as a reminder of how classical mythology influenced early modern era artworks like this one, showcasing both decorative arts and storytelling prowess.
