EDITORS COMMENTS
FRANCKEN: VERTUMNUS. Frans Francken the Younger captures a captivating scene from ancient mythology in his masterpiece, Vertumnus and Pomona. Painted with meticulous detail on wood during the 17th century, this baroque artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent and mastery of oil painting. In this enchanting composition, we witness the meeting between Vertumnus, the Roman god of seasons and change, and Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring to life their mythical encounter in a lush outdoor setting. Pomona is portrayed as a young woman surrounded by an abundance of fruits and flowers, symbolizing her domain over nature's bounty. Meanwhile, Vertumnus appears disguised as an old woman pushing a wheelbarrow or cart filled with ripe produce. This clever disguise allows him to approach Pomona unnoticed. Francken skillfully captures both the beauty of nature and human emotions in this painting. The expressions on Pomona's face reveal surprise mixed with curiosity as she gazes at Vertumnus' transformation before her eyes. This print serves as a testament to Francken's artistic genius and his ability to transport viewers into another world through his exquisite craftsmanship. It is an extraordinary piece that combines elements of fine art with Flemish tradition while immersing us in classical mythology.
