EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink drawing by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, titled "Vertumnus and Pomona," transports us back to ancient Rome where we encounter the mythological figures of Vertumnus, the god of agriculture and seasons, and Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees and abundance. The drawing, executed in monochrome with brown ink and pencil on paper, dates back to the 17th century, a time when Rembrandt was at the height of his artistic prowess during the Dutch Golden Age. Vertumnus, depicted as an elderly man with a wise and knowing expression, is seen in disguise as a shepherd, attempting to win the heart of Pomona, who is portrayed as an elderly woman, her face adorned with the natural beauty of age. The god, in his disguise, engages Pomona in conversation, and she, intrigued by his wisdom and charm, eventually grants him a golden apple, symbolizing her love and consent. This drawing is a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of the medium, showcasing his ability to bring mythological figures to life with intricate detail and depth. The drawing is currently on exhibit at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and the artistic genius of the Dutch Golden Age.
