EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Vertumnus and Pomona: Vertumnus transformed into a pruner" created around 1550 by Coecke van Aelst, Pieter. The artwork measures an impressive 420x570 cm and is housed in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, Spain. Designed by Pieter Coeke Van Aelst and Leonard Thiry, this tapestry is part of the series "Vertumnus and Pomona". It was crafted in Brussels using gold, wool, and silk. The scene depicted is inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses (XIV, 647) and portrays a detail of a garden. The image reveals a richly colored composition featuring various plants, fruits, birds, statues, columns, and even a cornucopia. This fusion of elements from classical mythology with nature highlights the imagination prevalent during the Renaissance era. The Flemish style shines through in every intricate detail of this masterpiece. Its decorative arts represent Western art at its finest during the early modern period. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Maeyaert/AIC from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported to another time—a time when culture thrived amidst stunning architecture and mythological characters roamed freely within lush gardens. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty found within works of art that transcend centuries while continuing to inspire awe and admiration today.
