    Giuseppe Arcimboldo's Composite Portraits and The

    Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s Composite Portraits and the Alchemical Universe of the Early Modern Habsburg Court (1546-1612) By Rosalie Anne Nardelli A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Art History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada July, 2014 Copyright © Rosalie Anne Nardelli, 2014 Abstract At the Renaissance noble court, particularly in the principalities of the Holy Roman Empire, alchemical pursuits were wildly popular and encouraged. By the reign of Rudolf II in the late sixteenth century, Prague had become synonymous with the study of alchemy, as the emperor, renowned for his interest in natural magic, welcomed numerous influential alchemists from across Europe to his imperial residence and private laboratory. Given the prevalence of alchemical activities and the ubiquity of the occult at the Habsburg court, it seems plausible that the art growing out of this context would have been shaped by this unique intellectual climate. In 1562, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a previously little-known designer of windows and frescoes from Milan, was summoned across the Alps by Ferdinand I to fulfil the role of court portraitist in Vienna. Over the span of a quarter-century, Arcimboldo continued to serve faithfully the Habsburg family, working in various capacities for Maximilian II and later for his successor, Rudolf II, in Prague. As Arcimboldo developed artistically at the Habsburg court, he gained tremendous recognition for his composite portraits, artworks for which he is most well- known today. Through a focused investigation of his Four Seasons, Four Elements, and Vertumnus, a portrait of Rudolf II under the guise of the god of seasons and transformation, an attempt will be made to reveal the alchemical undercurrents present in Arcimboldo’s work.

This person commissioned a copy of a painting of Adam and Eve to deceive locals in Nuremburg after having the work hauled off, and acquired the world’s largest medieval manuscript, the Codex Gigas, from a monastery in Goumov. This person sponsored Tyrolian expeditions by Roelant Savery to study and draw fauna and commissioned bawdy nudes illustrating this person’s esoteric philosophical ideas, such as The Triumph of Wisdom by Bartholomeus Spranger. This person built a new wing of a castle to house Europe’s greatest Kunstkammer, or (*) “cabinet of curiosities.” Art historians often use an adjectival form of this ruler’s name to describe late styles of Northern Mannerism that he promoted in Prague. Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s Vertumnus is a depiction of this ruler, whose crown was given to rulers of the Austrian Empire. For 10 points, name this art-loving Holy Roman Emperor who died in 1612. ANSWER: Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor [prompt on Rudolfine Mannerism by asking “Rudolf of which number?”] 2. A folktale about a demon causing two objects to break inside one of these places is celebrated by the folk festival of Kanamara Matsuri, which is based on an Ainu folktale. In various Indian religions, this sort of place is used as an analogy for the states in which a person can be reborn, such as manusya, deva, and rakshasa forms. In Hawaiian myth, a movable one of these locations was used by Kapo to lure the hog-headed god Kamapua’a away from Pele.
