This is a sculpture entitled "Librarian Man Made Out of Books Portrait of Wolfgang Lazius" (ca. 1566) by Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
At the time, this portrait of Wolfgang Lazius, a famous scientist who was attached to the Habsburg court, must have provoked great merriment within those circles. As far as is known, it is the only portrait by Arcimboldo which is not composed of elements derived from nature.
This is a highly collectible, quality, resin sculpture with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish.
Guaranteed fully authentic and authorized piece! Absolute Mint Condition, comes new in box! Measures 4.75"H x 3"W x 2.5"D.
Comes with a full color card with an image of the original artwork and a description card about Arcimboldo and his artwork. Both cards are in four languages.
This sculpture is amazing! When the public visits a museum, they repeatedly visit the same artworks to look at them from a different perspective. This fantastic sculpture offers art lovers the ability to “view” their favorite artwork in their own home, from an entirely different perspective, and in a different dimension: 3D! Have you ever wondered what the artwork looked like from behind the painting? Or from the side? To remind you of your museum experience, each figurine comes with a color card of the original painting, information about the painter and a description of the specific figurine reproduced.
This beautifully detailed piece retails at galleries for over $200.
