"Vertumnus and Pomona" is a notable painting by Aert de Gelder, a Dutch artist who was among the last pupils of Rembrandt van Rijn. The work is inspired by the Roman myth of Vertumnus and Pomona, which tells the story of the god Vertumnus's pursuit of the nymph Pomona. De Gelder's interpretation of this mythological narrative is a testament to his mastery of the Dutch Golden Age painting style and his unique adaptation of Rembrandt's techniques.

The painting depicts the moment when Vertumnus, the god of seasons, orchards, and gardens, disguises himself as an old woman to gain access to the beautiful nymph Pomona, who has sworn off suitors. Pomona is known for her skill in horticulture and is often depicted surrounded by fruits, gardens, or orchards, symbolizing abundance and fertility. In de Gelder's rendition, the figures are typically set against a rich, atmospheric background, highlighting the influence of his teacher, Rembrandt, in his use of chiaroscuro and a warm, earthy palette.

Aert de Gelder (1645–1727) was a distinctive figure in the Dutch art scene, known for his religious and historical scenes, as well as his portraits. His works are characterized by their expressive use of light and shadow, loose brushwork, and a focus on dramatic narratives. "Vertumnus and Pomona" exemplifies de Gelder's skill in blending the traditional elements of Dutch painting with his own artistic voice, making it a significant piece in the study of late 17th-century Dutch art.

The painting is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance, as it reflects the enduring interest in classical mythology during the Baroque period. It serves as an important example of how ancient stories were reinterpreted through the lens of contemporary art practices of the time. "Vertumnus and Pomona" by Aert de Gelder remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Dutch art, offering insight into the post-Rembrandtesque era and the transition toward the Rococo movement that would soon emerge in Europe.
