Painting Description
"Study for Vertumnus and Pomona" (1519) is a notable drawing by the Italian Mannerist painter Jacopo Carucci, more commonly known as Pontormo. This work is an exquisite example of Pontormo's skill in draftsmanship and his ability to convey complex mythological themes through his art. The drawing serves as a preparatory study for a larger, now-lost painting that depicted the Roman deities Vertumnus and Pomona, whose mythological narrative is rooted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses."
In the myth, Vertumnus, the god of seasons and change, falls in love with Pomona, a wood nymph devoted to her orchards. Despite his numerous attempts to woo her in various disguises, it is only when he reveals his true form that Pomona reciprocates his affection. Pontormo's study captures the essence of this transformation and the tender moment of revelation, showcasing his ability to infuse his figures with emotional depth and dynamic movement.
Executed in pen and ink with wash, the drawing highlights Pontormo's meticulous attention to anatomical detail and his innovative use of line and shading to create volume and texture. The figures of Vertumnus and Pomona are rendered with a graceful fluidity, embodying the Mannerist aesthetic of elongated forms and exaggerated poses. This study not only reflects Pontormo's mastery of the human form but also his keen interest in exploring the psychological interplay between his characters.
"Study for Vertumnus and Pomona" is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and admiration. The drawing provides valuable insight into Pontormo's creative process and his contributions to the Mannerist movement, marking a significant moment in the evolution of Renaissance art.
