"Vertumnus and Pomona, c.1545" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Mannerist painter Francesco Primaticcio (1504–1570). This work is part of Primaticcio's contributions to the Château de Fontainebleau, where he was a central figure in the first school of Fontainebleau, a group of Italian and French artists commissioned by King Francis I of France to decorate the palace. The fresco depicts the mythological tale of Vertumnus and Pomona from Ovid's Metamorphoses, showcasing the god Vertumnus in the guise of an old woman as he woos the nymph Pomona, a symbol of fruitfulness and abundance.

Primaticcio's mastery of the Mannerist style is evident in the elongated forms, elegant figures, and the sophisticated use of color and composition that characterize the fresco. The work reflects the influence of Primaticcio's training in Bologna and his subsequent time in Rome, where he absorbed the High Renaissance styles of artists like Raphael. Upon his invitation to France, Primaticcio brought with him an Italian artistic sensibility that would profoundly influence French art.

The fresco is significant for its role in the dissemination of Italian Renaissance art outside Italy and for its impact on the development of French art. Primaticcio's work at Fontainebleau, including "Vertumnus and Pomona," helped to establish a distinctly French Renaissance style that combined Italian techniques with local tastes. The fresco is also notable for its narrative quality and the way it reflects the courtly and intellectual interests of the French elite during the Renaissance, who were avid consumers of classical mythology and literature.

Today, "Vertumnus and Pomona" is appreciated not only as a work of art but also as a historical artifact that offers insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and France in the 16th century. It remains a testament to Primaticcio's skill and his significant role in the cultural life of the French Renaissance.
