EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a pruner" created by Pieter Coecke van Aelst in 1550. The tapestry, manufactured in Brussels using gold, wool, and silk, depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses (XIV, 647). In this particular detail of the garden with the Three Graces, we witness the transformation of Vertumnus into a pruner. The influence of "The Dream of Poliphilo" published in Venice by Aldus Manutius, is evident in this work. It beautifully illustrates marvellous architectural garden settings reminiscent of ancient Rome. Flemish artistry shines through every thread as various plants intertwine to create an enchanting backdrop for mythological characters. The Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Spain serves as the setting for this remarkable piece. The photograph captures not only the intricate details but also highlights its vibrant colors and classical beauty. With no people present, our attention is solely focused on the magnificent tapestry itself. Pieter Coecke van Aelst's talent shines through his ability to bring mythology to life through textiles. This Renaissance masterpiece transports us back to an era where imagination and architecture merged seamlessly. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that spans across Europe. It serves as a testament to Western art's fascination with classical mythology during the early modern era while showcasing Belgium's contribution to decorative arts during that time period.
