1st July 2022: Painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Austria

Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter in the 16th century best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and books. Shown on the card is the painting Water from the series The Four Elements, which is shown in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

A perfectly matching stamp was used here. I really like that the special postmark shows a portrait of Arcimboldo.


Thank You very much Anita!
