He made his mark in the history of painting mainly through his portraits of fruits, vegetables, plants, animals and inorganic substances. It is known that he enjoyed great fame during his lifetime, then soon sank into oblivion, and was pulled \"out of mothballs\" again by the surrealists in the 20th century, who declared him to be their predecessor. The artist's imagination was also greatly admired by Salvador Dali.<\/strong><\/p>\n It was not until the 20th century that art historians discovered that Arcimboldo<\/strong> was not a descendant of a noble family as they first assumed, but of the Milanese painter Biagio Arcimboldo, who was Milan Cathedral in charge of window paintings. The father also introduced his son to his work and Giuseppe made his debut with his first paintings at the age of 22.
