About the piece
This exquisite oil on copper work, created after Abraham Bloemaert, illustrates the Ovidian myth of Vertumnus and Pomona. Vertumnus, the god of seasons, disguises himself as an old woman to approach the beautiful wood nymph in her private orchard. The piece is a masterclass in Late Renaissance Mannerism, featuring elegant figures, a sophisticated palette of saffron and rose, and a detailed botanical backdrop that brings the garden setting to life.
