A man who certainly qualifies as one of the most original artists in history, Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526-93) turned many a head with his unusual portraits of emperors and their courtiers - unusual, because Arcimboldo decided to forsake realism for caricature, with heads and busts comprised entirely of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
