About the piece
Painted in 1612 by Frans Francken the Younger, this intricate oil on panel illustrates the Roman myth of the wood nymph Pomona being wooed by the god Vertumnus. The composition is a masterclass in early 17th-century detail, featuring a lush, fruit-laden garden, a formal architectural archway, and a sweeping rural vista complete with a windmill and cottage. Francken’s meticulous technique and warm, earthy palette create a sophisticated piece of historical storytelling that brings old-world elegance to any space.
