GIUSEPPE ARCIMBOLDO

GIUSEPPE ARCIMBOLDO - Giuseppe Arcimboldo (also spelled Arcimboldi) (1527 -- July 11, 1593) 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.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo o Arcimboldi, come è nominato in diversi documenti d'archivio (Milano, 1526 -- Milano, 11 luglio 1593) è stato un pittore italiano, noto soprattutto per le sue grottesche "Teste Composte", ritratti burleschi eseguiti combinando tra loro, in una sorta di Trompe-l'œil, oggetti o elementi dello stesso genere (prodotti ortofrutticoli, pesci, uccelli, libri, ecc) collegati metaforicamente alsoggetto rappresentato, in modo da desublimare il ritratto stesso. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Arcimboldo.
