EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Flemish tapestry from the series Vertumnus and Pomona. The tapestry depicts the transformation of Vertumnus into a farmer, which is the second piece in the series. Created by Pieter Coecke van Aelst and manufactured by Wilhelm Pannemaker in Brussels around 1545-1550, this masterpiece measures an impressive 325x175 cm. The intricate fabric used for this tapestry includes gold, silver, silk, and wool, adding to its richness and beauty. It is currently housed at the Palacio Real de Madrid in Spain, specifically displayed in the State Dining Room as part of National Heritage Series 16. The scene depicted on this tapestry transports viewers to a farm setting with a farmhouse surrounded by lush greenery. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element from the white wool ball to the water nymphs adds depth and life to this fictional character's transformation. The use of gilding gives certain parts of the artwork a golden sheen while metallic threads add shimmering accents throughout. The combination of silk velvet and other textiles creates a luxurious texture that enhances both visual appeal and tactile experience. Overall, this Flemish tapestry exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skill. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic allure makes it an extraordinary addition to any art collection or exhibition.
