Product Description
In the fantastic portraits by the 16th-century Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, compositions of fruit, vegetables, flowers, and books, animals, or garden tools magically turn into vivid depictions of beautiful young women, weathered old men, or the personifications of the seasons and the elements. This volume brings together some of the most curious and inventive of his works which went to make Arcimboldo a celebrated artist in court circles and a unique painter in the history of art.

I never got this book, I keep receiving emails for "order update" where I am asked to confirm my order delay.
I expect this book to be great, but where is it?

This book is very short and tells a story that kids could understand regarding the painter and the royal court he painted for. Each picture has a short story as well as a descriptive explanation of what items are in the picture. This would be a great way to teach kids that items are and still have it be fun because the faces are so silly. I highly recommend this book.
