About the Item

Artist: After Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Italian 1526-1593). Title: Vertumnus (1591) Limited Edition of 100 Prints. Medium: Giclée Fine Art Print on Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag 310gsm paper. Sheet Size: Height 52.7 cm x Width 42 cm. About the Painting: Vertumnus by Giuseppe Arcimboldo is a portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II as Vertumnus, the Roman god of metamorphoses in nature and life. Produced in 1591 the work uses the form, texture and colour of fruits, vegetables and flowers to create an anthropomorphic painting of the sitter. The unique adaption and unconventional use of perishable foods to create portraiture was more or less an insight into the mind of a Renaissance man whose fascination with riddles, puzzles, and the bizarre would ultimately shape his artistic legacy. About the Artist: Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526-1593) was an Italian Mannerist painter who composed grotesque and surreal compositions out of fruits, vegetables, animals and books, all masterly resembled to create idiosyncratic portraiture. Surrealist artists of the 20th Century would later marvel at Arcimboldo’s painting's aesthetic and intellectual complexities. His painting could be interpreted on multiple fronts and this was an appealing proposal to the surrealists as it allowed the mind to take the image and the imagination to then depart from the conventions of portraiture. Arcimboldo began his career as a cartoon designer of stained-glass windows for the Milan Cathedral, he then moved to Prague, where he became one of the favourite court painters to the Habsburg rulers Maximilian II and Rudolph II. He painted works for the court theatres and he began to establish a reputation as a master of illusion and trickery. Often his works contained allegorical references along with more light-hearted jokes and puns. Giuseppe Arcimboldo had an eccentric vision that left its mark on the 16th Century and went on to further influence movements in the 20th century that are still relevant in popular culture of today. Our Giclée Fine Art Prints: Printed on Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag 310gsm paper, this print has been selectively enhanced from high-resolution photography to produce a unique and contemporary perspective of Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s “Vertumnus”. With selective cropping, we capture the essential elements of the composition that make the painting work. Each Giclée Fine Art Print is unframed so that you can add the frame of your choice. Limited to an edition of 100 each print is supplied with a Wright Gallery Editions Certificate of Authenticity.
