Painting Description
"Vertumnus and Pomona (Bartsch 27; Holl. 87)" is an exquisite engraving by the Dutch artist Jan Pietersz. Saenredam, created in the early 17th century. Saenredam, renowned for his meticulous and refined engraving technique, was a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of art. This particular work is a testament to his skill and his ability to translate complex mythological themes into detailed and expressive visual narratives.
The engraving depicts the mythological story of Vertumnus and Pomona, characters from Roman mythology. Vertumnus, the god of seasons, change, and plant growth, is enamored with Pomona, a nymph devoted to the care of fruit trees and gardens. Despite her aversion to suitors, Vertumnus persistently woos Pomona by disguising himself in various forms. In Saenredam's depiction, the moment captured is one of transformation and revelation, where Vertumnus, having taken the guise of an old woman, reveals his true identity to Pomona.
Saenredam's engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which brings a sense of depth and realism to the mythological scene. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures of Vertumnus and Pomona centrally placed, surrounded by lush, meticulously rendered foliage that emphasizes Pomona's connection to nature. The artist's use of line work is both precise and expressive, capturing the textures of the characters' clothing and the natural environment with remarkable clarity.
This work is part of a larger tradition of mythological subjects in Dutch art, reflecting the period's fascination with classical antiquity and its themes. Saenredam's "Vertumnus and Pomona" not only showcases his technical prowess but also his ability to convey narrative and emotion through the medium of engraving. The piece is cataloged as Bartsch 27 and Hollstein 87, indicating its inclusion in the comprehensive catalogs of Saenredam's works by Adam von Bartsch and Friedrich Wilhelm Hollstein, respectively. These catalogs are essential references for scholars and collectors of Dutch prints, underscoring the significance of Saenredam's contributions to the art of engraving.
