Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Giuseppe Arcimboldo
(1527 - 1593) was an Italian painter best known for
creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such
objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books -
that is, he painted representations of these objects on the
canvas arranged in such a way that the whole collection of
objects formed a recognizable likeness of the portrait
subject.
