EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Seated Figure of Summer" by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Painted in 1573, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76x63.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Arcimboldo, known for his unconventional approach to portraiture, created this unique piece using an assemblage of fruits and vegetables. The figure's body is composed entirely of various produce items such as onions, parsnips, apples, and even a bunch of grapes delicately placed on its lap. This imaginative representation beautifully captures the essence of summer with its vibrant colors and bountiful harvest. Previously owned by renowned English poet and collector Edward James (1907-84), this artwork holds historical significance. It was later sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1986 before finding its way into the hands of the current owner. The photograph itself is part of the eGordon Roberton Photography Archive, expertly capturing every intricate detail and texture present in Arcimboldo's original painting. The image allows viewers to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind this composition but also serves as a testament to the enduring beauty found within classical art. With its botanical elements intertwined with human form, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into both natural history and artistic expression. A true feast for the eyes that celebrates creativity across disciplines - from botany to fine art - it reminds us how diverse inspirations can come together harmoniously on
