Original Description
Jan Pauwel Gillemans the Younger’s Vertumnus and Pomona is a captivating Baroque still life that masterfully blends mythology with luxuriant natural abundance. The painting depicts the Roman god Vertumnus disguised as an old woman, attempting to woo the wood nymph Pomona amidst an opulent display of ripe fruits, glistening grapes, and cascading foliage. Gillemans’ signature pronkstilleven (ostentatious still life) style shines through in the hyper-realistic textures of dewy peaches, translucent grapes, and intricate foliage woven with delicate insects—a hallmark of Flemish Baroque’s obsession with nature’s transience. Unlike his father’s darker vanitas works, the younger Gillemans suffuses the scene with golden light, elevating the mythological narrative into a celebration of earthly pleasures. This 17th-century work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age’s fusion of Northern Renaissance precision with allegorical storytelling, positioning it as a vital bridge between devotional art and secular still-life traditions.
For contemporary interiors, Vertumnus and Pomona thrives in spaces embracing organic warmth—consider a dining room with caramel-toned wood furniture or a CEO’s office with emerald-green velvet accents. The painting’s rich palette of ruby pomegranates and amber apricots pairs exquisitely with terracotta walls or gilt-framed mirrors, while its medium size (typical of Flemish still lifes at 60x80cm) suits eye-level placement above consoles or bookshelves. To avoid visual competition, surround it with minimalist Baroque-inspired decor—a single Murano glass vase or matte-black candlesticks. In modern settings, amplify the mythological theme by juxtaposing it with surrealist sculptures or terrazzo surfaces echoing its speckled foliage. The artwork’s narrative depth makes it ideal for sparking conversation in collaborative workspaces, while its harvest symbolism subtly enhances hospitality environments.
