1) Giuseppe Arcimboldo, 1526-27-July 11 1593 (age 67), an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books.
2) He was a conventional court painter of portraits for three Holy Roman Emperors in Vienna and Prague, also producing religious subjects and, among other things, a series of colored drawing.
3) He specialized in grotesque symbolical compositions of fruits, animals, landscapes, or various inanimate objects arranged into human forms.
4) The still-life portraits were clearly partly intended as whimsical curiosities to amuse the court.
5) But critics have speculated how seriously they engaged with Renaissance Neo-Platonism or other intellectual currents of the day.
6) Legacy: Arcimboldo's works are used by some psychologists and neuroscientists to determine the presence of lesions in the hemispheres of the brain that recognize global and local images and objects.
