The Librarian (Wolfgang Lazius) by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, ca. 1562. Oil on canvas. 97 x 71 cm (38 3/16 x 28 in.)
Last summer we did a post entitled, Evolution of a Painted Librarian: Peter Sis channels Giuseppe Arcimbold, showing how one of the illustrations in Sis’s 1994 book The Three Golden Keys closely resembled the famous painted librarian of Arcimbold.
Now we welcome Andre Martins de Barros into the Arcimboldo circle. Here are two of his works; The Philospher and The Bookseller.
