EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Vertumnus and Pomona" by Hendrik van Balen the Elder depicts a mesmerizing scene of love, seduction, and disguise. Measuring 105x131 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece can be found at the Musee de l'Hotel Sandelin in Saint-Omer, France. In this enchanting artwork from the 16th or 17th century, we witness Vertumnus, the Roman god of seasons, attempting to woo Pomona, the goddess of fruits and fruit-trees. Disguised as an old woman with a peacock feather fan in hand, Vertumnus skillfully approaches his beloved amidst a lush garden filled with vibrant flowers. As their eyes meet under the watchful gaze of cherubs above them, a parrot perched nearby adds to the allure of this romantic encounter. A mischievous monkey playfully observes from a tree branch while an obedient dog rests at their feet. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each flower delicately painted brings life to this idyllic setting. The warm colors and soft lighting create an atmosphere that exudes passion and desire. "Vertumnus and Pomona" is not only a celebration of love but also serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. It reminds us that true beauty lies within one's heart rather than external features alone. This print captures all these elements perfectly and allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Van Balen's talent
