Arcimboldo
Famous all over the world for his composite heads made up of plants, fruit and animals, Arcimboldo still remains, paradoxically, a painter shrouded in mystery. This important monograph proposes to reveal the eclecticism of one of the most fertile and lively minds of the Mannerist period, placing him in the cultural context in which he lived and worked. In addition to the artist's anamorphic heads, the volume includes an important selection of his paintings (among which, numerous previously unpublished portraits), tapestries, drawings and illustrations, realised throughout his life, from the period of his training in Lombardy to his time at the Hapsburg court.
Giuseppe Arcimboldo, 1527-1593
This book details Arcimboldo's life, work, pictures and drawings. Also the work he did as a scientist.
Arcimboldo and artworks
If, as the famous saying goes, you really are what you eat, then Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527-1593) was a consummate painter of the human soul. This artist was a master draftsman whose finely wrought canvases captured the imagination of his generation. In this fascinating book, Liana De Girolami Cheney takes a closer look at the critical history of Arcimboldo’s work, from his initial popularity and the tragic obscurity that followed his death, to the ventual triumphant revival of his work and vision by Surrealist admirers of the 1920s.

Arcimboldo's art: Paintings that are full of references to ancient classical gods and goddesses Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527-1593) began his career as an artist in the glass workshops of the Milan Cathedral, where he designed glass windows depicting scenes from the lives of the saints. His talent soon caught the eye of 16th-century rulers, and he moved on to the imperial courts of Ferdinand I, Maximilian II, and Rudolf II in Prague, where he created the scenes for his "Seasons." In Arcimboldo's allegorical paintings, Spring appears as a young man composed entirely of flowers, Summer as a composition of fruits, Autumn as a head made of grapes, and Winter as a gnarled old man twined with ivy.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Milan, 1530 environ –1593) A ses débuts, les contemporains d'Arcimboldo n'auraient pas pu imaginer qu'il allait réaliser ce qui le rend célèbre aujourd'hui. Ses oeuvres juvéniles étaient habituellement destinées aux cathédrales de Milan ou de Monza, mais c'est à partir de 1562, quand il fut convoqué à la cour impériale de Prague, que son style et ses sujets changèrent. Pour la cour, il imagina des fantaisies originales et grotesques faites de fleurs, de fruits, d'animaux et d'objets assemblés pour former un portrait humain. Certains étaient de nature satyrique, et d'autres des personnifications allégoriques. Si son travail est aujourd'hui considéré comme une curiosité du XVIe siècle, il puise en réalité ses racines dans le contexte de la fin de la Renaissance. A cette époque, les collectionneurs et les scientifiques commencèrent à prêter plus d'attention à la nature, recherchant des curiosités naturelles à exposer dans leurs cabinets de curiosité.

Arcimboldo the Marvelous
"Arcimboldo, a 16th century Italian artist [working in Vienna and Prague] is an artist with an indisputable claim, he single mindedly pursued his invention, the so-termed "composite head", applying it to numerous and varied subjects. Apt and witty combinations of animals, fish, fruit, vegetables, and a variety of other objects, all painted with meticulous realism, are fitted together into head and shoulder figures that sometimes have the look of portraits. He also devised compositions that can be hung upside down as well as right side up. Arcimboldo's major works were his numerous series on allegorical themes, especially the Four Seasons and the Four Elements."--Amazon.
