Arcimboldo, Giuseppe

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526–1593) was an Italian artist known for imaginative composite heads assembled from fruit, flowers, vegetables and other objects. Originally from Milan, he worked for the Habsburg emperors Ferdinand I, Maximilian II and Rudolf II. His court work extended beyond painting to designs for festivities and the observation of the natural world.

His pictures invite two kinds of looking: at a distance, the arranged objects form a face; up close, their individual shapes and textures become visible. This interplay gives the portraits their distinctive humor and visual inventiveness.
