This Painting Is Tastier Than It Looks

Guiseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter born in 1526 in Milan, Italy. He was the court painter for the Habsburg Court, specifically Maximilian II and Rudolf II. He is most known for his portraits paintings made with a combination of inanimate objects (fruits, vegetables, books, animals, fish). Some of his works featured in this video are Vertumnus, Four Seasons in One Head, The Librarian, and more! But why would an Emperor want to be remembered as a pile of fruit?
