In this fascinating book, Liana De Girolami Cheney takes a closer look at the critical history of Arcimboldos work, from his initial popularity and the tragic obscurity that followed his death, to the ventual triumphant revival of his work and vision by Surrealist admirers of the 1920s.

Beyond perception and signification (lexical or cultural) there develops a whole world of value: before one of Arcimboldos Composed Heads, I am led to not only say of it: I read, guess, discover, and understand, but also: I like, I dont like. Uneasiness, fear, laughter, desire all enter the game.

S on of the artist Biagio Arcimboldo and Chiara Parisi, Giuseppe Arcimboldo was born in Milan in 1527. Of noble descent, Arcimboldo s family originated from the south of Germany, with some family members relocating to Lombardy during the Middle Ages. Numerous variations of the spelling of the family name can be found: Acimboldi, Arisnbodle, Arcsimbaldo, Arzimbaldo, or Arczimboldo; the boldo or baldo suffix is a mediaeval Germanic derivative. Likewise, Arcimboldo signed his first name in several different ways: Giuseppe, Josephus, Joseph, or Josepho are some of the examples that can be found.

In his work La noblit di Milano (1619), Paulo Morigi charted the history of Arcimboldo s family and confirmed his nobility, despite very uncertain sources, by tracing his roots back to the time of Charlemagne, when a nobleman named Sigfrid Arcimboldo served in the court of the Emperor. Out of sixteen Arcimboldo children, three were knighted and one amongst them settled in Lombardy. This is how the Italian branch of the family came to be founded. To support his claims, Morigi declared that his narrative came directly from Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a trustworthy gentleman with a respectable lifestyle .

Also in La noblit di Milano , Morigi continued to develop the history of the Arcimboldo family, although limiting this to the Italian branch residing in Milan. He stated that the widower Guido Antonio Arcimboldo, Giuseppe s great-great-grandfather, was elected Archbishop of Milan in 1489, succeeding his deceased brother, Giovanni Arcimboldo. Between 1550 and 1555, Giovanni Angelo Arcimboldo, illegitimate son of Guido Antonio, reigned as Archbishop of Milan. He advised Giuseppe and steered him through the politics of the artists, humanists, and writers of the Milanese Court.

A certain artistic and scientific fascination for Leonardo da Vinci has been perceived in Arcimboldo s art. In fact, Giuseppe s father, Biagio, had the good fortune to be friends with Bernardino Luini, a student of Leonardo da Vinci s, who, after da Vinci s death,
