EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Pan and Pomona" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Jan Verkolje in 1685, this artwork measures 38.4x29.9 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The image depicts two figures locked in an intimate embrace amidst a lush garden setting. On the left stands Pan, a mischievous god known for his wild nature and association with shepherds and rustic music. On the right is Pomona, a Roman goddess symbolizing fruitful abundance and orchards. Their bodies intertwine gracefully as they come together in this timeless moment captured by Verkolje's skilled hand. The artist beautifully portrays their classical features, emphasizing their divine status through delicate details. Surrounded by statuesque forms that echo ancient times, Pan and Pomona stand as symbols of both masculine strength and feminine beauty intertwined harmoniously within nature's realm. This exquisite mezzotint print invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of mythological narratives while celebrating the enduring power of love and desire across time. It serves as a reminder that even gods are not immune to passion's allure. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported to an era where deities roamed freely among mortals – forever immortalized through art's transformative lens.
