Who is Giuseppe Arcimboldo?
[jew-SEP-pay arch-im-BOLD-OH]
1500s Italian painter
Arcimboldo was best known for his fantastical “composite head” paintings.
Used themes to create portraits. Portraits composed of objects such as fruit, flowers, books, or even a plate of meat.
During his time, he acquired international fame and the public reacted to his paintings much the way we do today: with admiration, humor, and fascination.
Summer belongs to a set of four paintings that depict the four seasons of the year. https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/edu/object/summer
