Arcimboldo portraits

You know that painter who constructed human faces from arrangements of flowers, vegetables, fruit, pots, books, and other unlikely things, what was his name again...?

The artist you're thinking of is Giuseppe Archimboldo, who lived some four centuries ago. His paintings still feel surreal!
