Jan Brueghel I Circle (Brussels, 1568 - Antwerp, 1625)“Vertumnus and Pomona”Oil on copper.73 x 93,5 cm.As the RKD indicates for the cataloguing of the work, our copper could be attributed to more than one master. Dr Angela Jager, Curator of the RKD, proposes to catalogue the landscape in the painting as "follower of Jan Brueghel I", while the attribution of the human figures remains uncertain.Besides, the work "Garden with Vertumnus and Pomona" was auctioned at Christie's London auction on 12/12/1975, as a Jan van Balen and Jan van Kessel copper, both disciples of Jan Brueghel, father and son, with whom they collaborated on numerous occasions (Jan van Kessel was, in fact, the grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder on his mother's side). This copper has an enormous resemblance to ours, since the composition is very similar, as it can be seen in the attached image.The figure group of Vertumnus and Pomona in our painting, without Cupid, is comparable to that in a copper attributed to Frans Wouters, which was auctioned at Christie's in Paris on 30/3/2015 (https://rkd.nl/explore/images/265477).Por lo que al tema se refiere, nuestra pintura representa Vertumno y Pomona, dioses de la mitología romana. Vertumno, dios romano de origen etrusco del cambio y la mutación de la vegetación durante el transcurso de las estaciones; y Pomona, diosa de la fruta y de los árboles frutales y jardines, cuyos atributos principales son la hoz o el cuchillo de podar, que sujeta con su mano en nuestro cuadro.Pomona rechazaba cualquier atención masculina pero Vertumno, locamente enamorado de la diosa romana, la cortejó largamente cambiando su aspecto al de una vieja mujer, felicitándola por las frutas de sus árboles y terminando por seducirla definitivamente al mostrarle de nuevo su verdadero rostro, joven y sano. Este mito aparece en el libro XIV de “Las Metamorfosis” de Ovidio (621-696 y 764-770).Ambas deidades, añade la Dra. Angela Jager, “regularly feature as staffage in paintings of gardens and orchards, and as such, they sometimes allegorize autumn and harvest in Flemish seventeenth-century painting”.An interesting feature is the interchange of looks that can perceived between the characters. The dog that is in the lower margin of the painting directs its gaze to the group of Vertumnus and Pomona. One looks at the other and the second at the first and it is there that the viewer's eyes rest. For his part, Cupid looks directly at the viewer.We would like to thank Dr. Angela Jager, Curator of Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings in the RKD, for identifying and cataloguing this work.
