EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hendrik Goltzius' masterpiece, "Vertumnus and Pomona" painted in 1615. The oil on canvas artwork measures 70.8x101.2 cm (original size) and 90.4x104.2 cm (extended size), currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK. The painting depicts a fascinating scene from Roman mythology, where Vertumnus, the god of seasons, disguises himself as an elderly woman to woo the beautiful lady Pomona. In this composition, Goltzius skillfully captures the essence of age and beauty through his portrayal of an aged female figure alongside a young and virtuous woman. Set within a lush garden filled with fruits such as apples and pears, this piece exudes tranquility and sensuality simultaneously. The bare-breasted lady reclines amidst the orchard while Vertumnus attempts to seduce her with his disguised charm. Goltzius' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the drapery that adorns both figures to their expressive facial features - each element contributes to creating a visually stunning narrative. As we admire this seventeenth-century Dutch masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only a mythological tale but also appreciate Goltzius' artistic prowess in capturing human emotions through paint on canvas.
