[[Image:Arcimboldovertemnus.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|"Vertemnus", a portrait of Rudolf II]] Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 in Milan, Italy - 1593) was a distinctive and eccentric painter who is best known for creating portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruit or vegetables or flowers, or fish, or inanimate objects such as 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. In 1562 he became the court portraitist to Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor at the Habsburg court in Vienna, and later, to his son Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, both of whom seem to have much liked Arcimboldo's extraordinary portraits. He was also the court decorator, costume designer, and general art expert. His style of early pre-surrealist portraiture was much copied by his contemporaries, making it difficult at times to differentiate his work from that of imitators. ==External links== *[http://www.abcgallery.com/A/arcimboldo/arcimboldo.html Giuseppe Arcimboldo at Olga's Gallery] Italian painters 1527 births 1593 deaths
