About the piece
Painted in 1638, this Flemish Baroque masterpiece by Jacob Jordaens illustrates the Roman myth of Vertumnus and Pomona. The work captures a moment of intimate dialogue between the two figures, set against a rich backdrop of dark foliage and a distant, atmospheric landscape. Jordaens' characteristic luminous flesh tones and robust figures bring a sense of earthy vitality to this classical subject, originally housed in the National Museum of Ancient Art.
