Vertumnus and Pomona, 1605 (printed later), Jan Saenredam; Designer: After a design by Abraham Bloemaert, Dutch, 15661651, 18 3/8 x 14 in. (46.67 x 35.56 cm) (sheet, irregular)29 x 23 in. (73.66 x 58.42 cm) (outer frame), Engraving, Netherlands, 17th century, The story of Vertumnus and Pomona dates to Roman antiquity, but was made popular and accessible through Ovids 'Metamorphoses.' Vertumnus, the god of seasonal change, had designs on Pomona, the goddess of orchards and gardensher name remaining familiar through the word pomegranate or the French word for apple. She was a beauty with a reputation for thwarting male advances. Bloemaert appropriately showed her surrounded by an abundance of luscious produce, andgiven her reputation in the realm of romanceher sickle may have had uses that would give a man pause. But Vertumnus had a plan: he disguised himself as an old woman to gain entry into Pomonas garden, and there gave her counsel against rejecting suitors, eventually seducing her himself. The choice of the Vertumnus and Pomona as a subject is typical of the late Mannerist phase. Earlier on, artists had sought esoteric, obscure subjects, but as time passed, they gravitated to more widely known stories, especially erotic tales available in the 'Metamorphoses.'.
