PONTORMO, Jacopo
(b. 1494, Pontormo, d. 1557, Firenze)

Vertumnus and Pomona (detail)

1519-21
Fresco
Villa Medici, Poggio a Caiano

The detail shows the left side of the lunette with Vertumnus at the lower left corner. To his right is a skinny dog with a grumpy expression, almost ready to bark, undoubtedly one of the most unusual and bizarre details of the fresco.
