Copper sculpture depicting Pomona, Inventory No. 2232, Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp

Ossip Zadkine's Pomona, displayed in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, is a compelling piece that captures the mythological essence of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. Zadkine, known for his dynamic and expressive sculptures, infuses the work with his signature cubist influence, creating a striking modern interpretation of a classical theme.

The sculpture reflects Zadkine's deep engagement with mythology and nature, embodying themes of growth, fertility, and the interplay between humanity and the natural world. Its inclusion in the museum's collection highlights the artist's place among the significant figures of 20th-century art, celebrated for blending traditional subjects with avant-garde techniques​
