	Giuseppe Arcimboldo Biograhy (1527 - 1593) - life and works of Arcimboldo
		With the possible exception of Hyeronimus Bosch, Arcimboldo is the most original of all renaissance painters, a genius who -with his astonishing portraits formed with elements such as fruits, animals or objects- seems to anticipate vanguards of the 20 th century such as the surrealism.
		Arcimboldo painted numerous series about "The four seasons" (one in a private collection in Bergamo, painted about 1572; another, painted in 1573, in the Louvre Museum) being each of them a copy without many variations of the previous one, which reflects the success of the series.
		In addition, both series are organised by a hypothetical "axis of symmetry", which confront the air with the spring, the summer with the fire, the autumn with the earth, and the winter with the water.

		In 1562 he became the court portraitist to Maximilian II at the Habsburg court in Vienna, and later, to his son Rudolf II, both of whom seem to have much liked Arcimboldo's extraordinary portraits.
		His style of early pre-surrealist portraiture was much copied by his contemporaries, making it difficult at times to differentiate his work from that of imitators.
		Instead of portraying people by employing fish, birds, and other animals or vegetation, these imitations of his style use nude female forms to parody the famous men and women whom the paintings parody, frequently depicting their subjects as rakes, satyrs, or devils.
