EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created between 1607 and 1610 in the Workshop of Jacob Matham, depicts the mythological encounter between Vertumnus and Pomona. Vertumnus, a Roman god of agriculture and the changing of the seasons, is shown disguised as an old man, approaching the reluctant Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees and harvest. Dressed as a shepherd, Pomona is depicted with a basket of ripe fruit and a protective hand on her chest, guarding her grove. The woodland setting, filled with lush greenery and vibrant autumnal hues, adds to the idyllic scene. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured bark of the trees to the delicate folds of the characters' clothing, showcase the exceptional skill of the Dutch Golden Age engraver. This image is part of the series 'Eight Disparate Subjects: Gods and Nymphs,' and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the seventeenth century. The timeless beauty of this mythological tale continues to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of art history.
