A Roman agricultural divinity and the earthy embodiment of motherhood, Pomona incarnates the primitive sensuality and life-giving energy of the female form that distinguish nearly all of Marini's female figures after 1940. The personification of his youthful dream of the eternal feminine idea, Pomona celebrates an Arcadian vision of life that harkens back to the antique Etruscan world, the remote and indigenous pre-Roman past to which Marini laid claim. "My Pomonas," he declared, "belong to a solar world, a solar poetry, to a humanity full of abundance, full of great sensuality. They represent a happy time, which was broken by the tragic times of the war" (quoted in M. de Micheli, "Ideas and Forms," Marino Marini, Milan, 1999, pp. 23-24).
