A bunch of green grapes and a raspberry hang at the left, with red apples, plums, a pair of cherries and ivy leaves at the right. Two sheaves of wheat, tied at the shoulders, hang down the chest, framing pink, white and red flowers at its centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArcimboldo painted it around 1590, after returning to his native Milan, and it is one of his last works. His friend Gregorio Comanini described it at length in a dialogue published in 1591. The National Gallery of Art finds it darker and more somber than the whimsy of much of his work; it was rediscovered in an English collection in 2006 and acquired by the Gallery in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on panel, about 1590; National Gallery of Art, Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Arcimboldo (1527–1593) was an Italian Mannerist painter, born in Milan. He began by designing stained glass and frescoes for Milanese cathedrals alongside his father, Biagio, and designed tapestries for Como and Monza cathedrals in 1558. From 1562 he served as court portraitist to the Habsburg emperors in Vienna and later Prague, also working as court decorator and costume designer, before retiring to Milan in 1587. He is known for composite heads built from fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish and books, including the series The Four Seasons and The Four Elements, and the Librarian. His work is held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Louvre and the Uffizi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
