Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 - 1593)

Information:

 Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and 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.

The following paintings are some of Giuseppe's most famous work all painted onto canvas' displaying images made up of natural forms.
