EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the famous tapestry "Vertumnus and Pomona" created by Jan II Raes in 1630. The artwork, part of the Gruppo Banca Carige Collection in Genoa, Italy, depicts a significant moment from Roman mythology. Vertumnus, the god of seasons and gardens, cleverly disguises himself as an old woman to gain access to Pomona's orchard. The intricate embroidery beautifully captures every element of this mythological scene. From the lush trees and bountiful produce to the detailed architecture of the palace in the background, every aspect is meticulously crafted. Animals roam freely amidst flourishing plants while birds flutter above. A majestic peacock adds a touch of elegance to this vibrant tableau. Angels and cherubs surround Vertumnus and Pomona with garlands and trumpets, adding an ethereal atmosphere to their encounter. The hardworking laborer carrying a laden basket symbolizes agriculture's importance in sustaining life. This image not only highlights classical mythology but also celebrates nature's abundance and fertility. It serves as a reminder that gardens are places where growth thrives alongside human intervention. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this masterpiece through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This photograph invites viewers into a world filled with enchantment, music, food, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature
