"Vertumnus and Pomona" is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch artist Jan van Bijlert, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age. The painting 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 many attempts, wins her affection by disguising himself as an old woman and gaining her trust.

Jan van Bijlert, born in Utrecht in 1597 or 1598, was a prominent figure in the Utrecht Caravaggisti movement, influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio. Van Bijlert's style is characterized by his use of chiaroscuro and his focus on realism and the human figure, often imbued with a sense of drama and emotional depth.

In "Vertumnus and Pomona," van Bijlert showcases his skill in rendering textures and his attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of fabrics and the lush setting that surrounds the figures. The painting is notable for its composition, the interplay of light and shadow, and the psychological interaction between the characters. It is a fine example of the Northern Caravaggisti's adaptation of Caravaggio's dramatic lighting and realism.

The work is significant in the context of Dutch Golden Age painting, as it reflects the era's fascination with classical mythology and the human form. It also provides insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Netherlands and Italy during the 17th century.

"Vertumnus and Pomona" by Jan van Bijlert remains an important piece within the oeuvre of the artist and contributes to the understanding of mythological subjects in Dutch art. The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase Dutch Golden Age paintings.
