EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the palace and musician angel from Jan II Raes' tapestry, "Vertumnus and Pomona". The artwork, dating back to around 1630, is part of the esteemed Gruppo Banca Carige Collection in Genoa, Italy. In Roman mythology, Vertumnus, the god of seasons and gardens, cleverly deceived Pomona into conversing with him by assuming the guise of an old woman. This enchanting scene captures that very moment when Vertumnus gains access to her orchard. The tapestry itself is a masterpiece of embroidery that beautifully depicts various elements from classical mythology. The intricate architecture of the palace stands tall in all its detailed glory while cherubic angels play their trumpets amidst garlands adorned with luscious fruits. Every aspect within this composition exudes abundance and fertility - from chubby nude figures representing bountiful harvests to meticulously embroidered pears, apples, and grapes symbolizing nature's bounty. It effortlessly combines elements of farming and botany with celestial beings. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this extraordinary piece through her lens; she successfully brings forth not only the artistic beauty but also highlights its historical significance as it delves into themes such as natural history and ancient science. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a mythical encounter between gods disguised as mortals—a testament to humanity's fascination with storytelling throughout centuries.
