Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Giuseppe Arcimboldo, (Milan, 1527 - ibídem, July 11, 1593), was an Italian painter, known especially for his Mannerist representations of the human face from flowers, fruits, plants, animals or objects; that is, he painted representations of these objects on the canvas, placed in such a way that the whole set had a recognizable resemblance to the subject portrayed.
