Original Description
Charles de La Fosse’s Vertumne et Pomone (c. 1688) is a luminous celebration of mythological love and baroque splendor. The painting depicts the Roman god Vertumnus, disguised as an old woman, seducing the nymph Pomona with his eloquence—a scene drawn from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. La Fosse, a leading figure of the French Baroque, bathes the composition in warm, golden light, his fluid brushwork and dynamic composition reflecting the influence of his teacher, Charles Le Brun, and his admiration for Venetian colorism. The figures’ soft, porcelain-like skin and the lush greenery around them create an atmosphere of seductive charm and pastoral harmony. As one of La Fosse’s most refined mythologies, the work bridges the grandeur of Louis XIV’s court style and the emerging lightness of the Rococo. Now housed in the Louvre, it remains a testament to the artist’s ability to blend classical storytelling with sensual elegance.
For interior styling, Vertumne et Pomone would enhance a space with its rich warmth and narrative depth. Ideal for a study, library, or formal living room, it pairs beautifully with Louis XIV-style gilded frames, antique oak furnishings, or regency-inspired decor. The painting’s dominant gold and earthy tones harmonize with deep burgundies, forest greens, or cream walls, while its medium-to-large scale (typical of Baroque works) requires ample wall space to balance its visual weight. To avoid overwhelming a room, position it as a focal point with subdued, textural complements—think velvet drapes or a muted Persian rug. In an office, it lends sophistication; flanked by sconces or placed above a marble console, it transforms the space into a gallery-like retreat. Replicas should favor high-quality canvases to capture La Fosse’s delicate color transitions.
