EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil painting, titled "Vertumnus and Pomona," is a masterpiece by the Dutch Baroque artist Aert de Gelder, created in the late 17th or early 18th century. The painting depicts a scene from the ancient Roman mythology, where the god Vertumnus, disguised as an old woman, approaches the goddess Pomona, who is known for her fruitful gardens and the abundance of fruit. Vertumnus, in an attempt to win Pomona's heart, praises the virtues of love and of himself, revealing his true identity. The painting showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of human emotion and the beauty of the natural world. The old woman, Vertumnus in disguise, is depicted with a knowing smile, while Pomona, with her youthful and innocent expression, is taken aback by the unexpected encounter. The painting is a visual feast for the eyes, with the lush greenery and ripe fruit in the background adding to the sensual and romantic atmosphere. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and its ability to inspire artists throughout history. Aert de Gelder's interpretation of this particular myth is both modern and timeless, making it a must-see for any art lover or student of mythology. The painting's intricate details and rich colors are best appreciated up close, making it a treasure to behold in person. Overall, "Vertumnus and Pomona" is a stunning example of the Baroque period's artistic mastery and a reminder of the enduring beauty of mythology.
