"Vertumnus and Pomona" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis Holsteyn, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts the Roman mythological tale of Vertumnus, the god of seasons, plant growth, and gardens, and Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. In the myth, Vertumnus falls in love with Pomona and, after various attempts, wins her affection by disguising himself as an old woman and gaining her trust. Holsteyn's rendition of this narrative captures the moment of interaction between the two deities, often highlighting the themes of transformation, seduction, and the bounty of nature.

Cornelis Holsteyn (1618–1658) was known for his historical paintings, portraits, and ceiling and wall decorations. His work on "Vertumnus and Pomona" is characterized by the detailed depiction of the figures and the lush landscape that surrounds them, reflecting the Baroque style's emphasis on drama, rich coloration, and contrast of light and shadow. The painting is a testament to Holsteyn's skill in illustrating mythological subjects, a common practice among artists of his time, who often sought to convey moral lessons, cultural values, and human emotions through the lens of ancient stories.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and aesthetic interests of the Dutch Golden Age. It contributes to the understanding of how mythology was interpreted and visualized in the period's Northern European art. "Vertumnus and Pomona" by Cornelis Holsteyn remains an important work for scholars studying the period, the artist, and the broader context of mythological representation in European art history.
