EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Perino del Vaga, a prominent artist from the Italian Renaissance. Titled "Vertumnus and Pomona" this masterpiece was created around 1527 and is now housed in the prestigious Collection of British Museum. The image depicts an enchanting scene inspired by Roman mythology, specifically focusing on the love story between Vertumnus and Pomona. Delicately executed in sanguine on paper, this graphic art piece exemplifies the Mannerist style with its elongated figures and graceful composition. In this allegorical representation, Vertumnus, also known as Voltumna or Vortumnus, assumes various disguises to win over Pomona's heart. The fine details captured in this print allow us to appreciate every nuance of their interaction – from Vertumnus' charming expression to Pomona's hesitant yet intrigued demeanor. Perino del Vaga masterfully brings together elements of literature and art history through his portrayal of these mythical characters. This work not only serves as a testament to his exceptional talent but also provides insight into the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists today. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness a tale that has captivated audiences for centuries. It is a true gem within the collection at British Museum, reminding us of the enduring power of fine art images like these.
