Saves De Pokémon Silver Chronicles
Giuseppe Arcimboldo was born in 1527 in Milan, Italy in the heart of a noble and wealthy family. What little is known about him is that he worked for a while with his father, a painter by profession, and his first paid job was a design that would later be reproduced in stained glass and tapestries from the Duomo Cathedral in Milan.
Through these works was forged a great reputation that was being called to Vienna in 1562 to work at the court of Emperor Ferdinand I. Spent two years during which he made entirely conventional portraits. But at the same time, he began experimenting with a completely new artistic concept: using the elements of nature to capture human faces. After death
Fernando
I continued to serve their successors: Maximilian II and Rudolph II, who moved his court to Prague in 1583, making it the capital of the Hapsburg Empire, and appointing a painter Arcimboldo. This time are his most famous works:
The Four Seasons: Four human faces represent the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), made with the items, fruits and flowers representative of each.
The four elements: Also each is a human face, but consists of only one type of item. On Earth are only terrestrial animals, in the air, birds in the water, fish and marine animals and Fire, Flaming elements from coals guns.

trades, made with elements of each: The Librarian (considering an advance of cubism), The Cook, The Horton and the lawyer (a judge, according to some, and the portrait of Calvin, according to others).
Arcimboldo became increasingly important in the court, until it became the official designer, responsible for organizing any artistic event or holiday. Introduced many innovations: Prague was the first fireworks, costumes and masks designed for the holiday palace, invented musical instruments and equipment applied in the source water ...
After 11 years of uninterrupted service to Rudolf II, it allowed him to retire to Milan with the promise that he would paint for him. His last two works were Flora (woman portrait made from flower) and Vertumno (portrait of Rudolph II personified in the Greek god who represents the abundance of fruits in the wild). This portrait of the emperor liked it so much that Arcimboldo was the honorary title of Count Palatine, who could only enjoy a year before his death.
After his death, the work of Arcimboldo fell into oblivion until the Surrealists in the nineteenth century, they fell to their visual games and the possibility of double reading some of their canvases. And it works is that they represent a thing of the law and other than the reverse.
