This month's artist
When we think about food in painting, there is an artist whose name comes immediatelyto our minds, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, as he often painted food to portray people – includingmonarchs as he was the court portraitist to Ferdinand I at the Hapsburg court in Vienna,and later, to Maximilian II and his son Rudolf II at the court in Prague.
Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 – July 11, 1593) was anItalian painter best known for creating imaginativeportrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruit,vegetables, flowers, fish, and books.
An early version of Summer,1563, Kunsthistorisches MuseumVienna, Austria.
Vertumnus, a portrait of Rudolf II.Now at Skokloster Castle, Sweden.
See you next month!
