The Four Elements (Arcimboldo) : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Four Elements (Arcimboldo)
''The Four Elements'' is a series of paintings by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo in 1566 during the Renaissance. They were commissioned by Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor. The portraits display figures in profile formed by different animals or objects. ''Earth'' is represented by land animals, ''Air'' by birds, ''Water'' by marine creatures and ''Fire'' by burning wood and cannons. This series attempts to express harmony out of chaos with wild animals forming distinct faces. It also praises Maximilian, suggesting that he is a ruler who controls even the four primal elements. 1000px ==Historical Background== After training in Milan, Arcimboldo moved to Vienna and became the court painter for the Habsburgs. Giuseppe gained knowledge of exotic and local animals because at the time Prague was a cultural center. Exotic creatures such as the lion and elephant came from all over the world.
