Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A fresh introduction to the life and art of the sixteenth-century Italian painter.Impossible Nature offers a fresh reassessment of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the Lombard painter whose fantastical composite heads became fixtures of the Habsburg court and emblems of imperial imagination. Moving beyond the familiar images, this book argues that court art was never merely decorative: it upheld power even as it subtly unravelled the narratives that power wished to project. Through incisive visual readings, Jessica Keating shows the ways in which Arcimboldo's work pictured and contemplated anew the codependency of art, nature and sovereignty, and reveals an artist far more conceptually daring and more urgently relevant than his playful surfaces suggest.'This richly illustrated life of Arcimboldo delightfully narrates the complexity of the artists journey between Milan, Vienna, and Prague through close study of his varied artistic production within the context of the cultural, social, and political circles he traversed. Like Arcimboldos playful paintings themselves, Keatings study brings joy at the same time that it reveals the paradoxes of the early modern world.' Lia Markey, director of the Center for Renaissance Studies, Newberry Library, Chicago A reappraisal of Arcimboldo's visionary, startlingly subversive art.
