Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Arcimboldo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Vertumnus by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 - 1593), a portrait of Rudolf II. Now at Skokloster Castle, Sweden.
Alternative 1 - Summer, 1563 by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 - 1593), Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.
Reason
One of Giuseppe Arcimboldo's incredible paintings surely is worthy of FP status. If someone finds an even better example, I won't object.

AFAIK this is the full picture. "Summer" exists in several versions, and this earlier one does not have the leaf border seen on the 1573 version... --Janke | Talk 09:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
nono, I know this is the full picture, but because its only the side of him, and completes his body with (clothes?) material, it doesn't really have the fruity taste to this picture, which is what this is meant to be about. The top one is perfect, except for the quality criteria. Dengero (talk) 23:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
