Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Painter, portraitist and pageant designer at the court of the Hapsburgs |
|
Arcimboldo was born in Milan, the son of a painter who was working at the Duomo. He is known as author of the cartoons for the Stories of St. Catherine of Alexandria for the stained glasses of the Duomo. In 1556 he worked with Giuseppe Meda for frescoes in the Cathedral of Monza.
In 1562 he became the court portraitist to Maximilian II at the Habsburg court in Vienna, and later, to his son Rudolf II at the court in Prague, both of whom seem to have much liked Arcimboldo's extraordinary portraits.
The exhibition at the Luxembourg Museum unveils the mysterious world and strange, extravagant works of this artist, best known for his ingenious portrait heads composed of objects like plants, fruits, flowers and so on.
Besides his composite portraits, the exhibition displays a significant selection of about 40 oils on canvas, drawings, illustrated works and tapestries dating from Arcimboldo’s early days in Lombardy to the years he spent at the Hapsburg court. |
