Product Description
From Library Journal
Giuseppe Arcimboldo was a Milanese painter at the 16th-century imperial Hapsburg courts of Vienna and Prague. He is best known for his allegorical portrait heads composed of objects such as flowers and books. This volume, published in connection with an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi, illustrates composite portraits and other transformed heads from the Renaissance to contemporary art. The text consists of brief essays covering everything from 16th-century history to painting restoration to catastrophe theory, and ranging in tone from straightforward to idiosyncratic. The illustrations will appeal to a wide audience, but not all of the essays will be comprehensible to all readers. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.L.S., Cincinnati
