EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a farmer" created around 1550 by Coecke van Aelst and Leonard Thiry. The tapestry, measuring an impressive 330x170 cm, can be found in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Spain. The artwork is part of a series depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, specifically focusing on the story of Pomona. In this particular scene (taken from Book XIV, line 641), we witness Vertumnus disguised as a farmer to win over Pomona's affection. The intricate design and use of gold, wool, and silk highlight the mastery of Flemish art during this period. The tapestry transports us back to ancient Rome with its classical mythology references and abundance of various plants surrounding the central figures. The backdrop features architectural elements reminiscent of Renaissance Europe while adding depth to the composition. Every detail in this piece tells a story - from the knife symbolizing agriculture to the column representing stability. The embroidery work is impeccable, showcasing both beauty and skill in decorative arts. Through this print captured by Maeyaert/AIC, we are able to appreciate not only the artistic value but also delve into European culture during the early modern era. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human history, reflecting our fascination with nature and mythological tales passed down through generations.
