In this particular artwork, he personifies summer through an intricate arrangement of wheat, fruits, vegetables, and other natural elements. The profile portrait features a face composed entirely of grapes as hair, garlic as teeth, sweetcorn as eyebrows, peas as eyelashes, marrows as cheeks and chin - all surrounded by an exquisite flower border added in the 17th century. This extraordinary piece showcases Arcimboldo's creativity and imagination while also highlighting his mastery of technique. The meticulous attention to detail brings each element to life with vibrant colors and textures.
