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. The artwork measures an impressive 330x50 cm and is housed in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, Spain. The tapestry depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses (XIV, 649), where Pomona takes center stage. She is portrayed in intricate detail with her distinct hairstyle and colorful attire. Surrounding her are various plants that add to the richness of the composition. In this particular panel, Vertumnus has been transformed into a fisherman as part of his pursuit to win over Pomona's heart. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the folds in his clothing to the delicate embroidery on his skirt. His handkerchief and knife serve as reminders of his new occupation. The overall aesthetic reflects Flemish artistry at its finest, showcasing vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship. This piece exemplifies Renaissance art with its classical mythology theme intertwined with elements of early modern fashion. As we admire this stunning work, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome through its references to Corinthian columns and capital architecture. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this masterpiece by Pieter Coecke Van Aelst and Leonard Thiry within decorative arts and Western art history as a whole.
