EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a pruner" created by Pieter Coecke van Aelst in the 16th century. The tapestry, measuring an impressive 420x570 cm, can be found at the Royal Palace in Aranjuez, Spain. Designed by Pieter Coecke Van Aelst and Leonard Thiry, this piece is part of a series depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this particular scene, we see Vertumnus disguised as a pruner. The intricate details of the gold, wool, and silk threads bring to life the mythological character's transformation. The Flemish artist's mastery is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the vibrant colors to the meticulous embroidery. The tapestry beautifully captures elements of Renaissance culture with its depiction of gardening and abundance. As we delve into classical mythology through this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Rome. Various plants adorn the scene while a young man wearing traditional Roman attire stands amidst them. His hat adds an air of elegance to his appearance. This print allows us to appreciate not only Coecke van Aelst's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of Western art history during the early modern era. It is truly a remarkable example of decorative arts that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
