The Librarian (1566)
Sculpture based on the original from Guiseppe Arcimboldo.
At the time, this portrait of Wolfgang Lazius, a famous scientist who was attached to the Habsburg court, must have provoked great merriment within those circles. As far as is known, it is the only portrait by Arcimboldo which is not composed of elements derived from nature.
