- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ม.ค. 2023
- In the age of regal Renaissance portraiture, artists were tasked with formally-and of course favorably-capturing their patron’s likenesses. But Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Italian, 1526-1593) took formality off the menu with his whimsical paintings that were good enough to eat.
This is Several Circles, where we tell the stories of extraordinary artists from across history and the present day. We believe art history content should be accessible-free of charge and impenetrable jargon, but abundant in fascinating facts, illuminating analyses, and entertaining anecdotes.
Each episode is written and hosted by Rachel, an art journalist-turned-copywriter at The Met, and produced by Jason, a New York City art technician. The fuzzy feline superstars are Jimmy (big and bushy) and Tallulah (small with thumbs).
We started this channel to indulge our fascination with what compels an artist to create the way they do, and we intend to grow it into a vast and celebratory archive of the weird and wonderful eccentrics who constitute the art history continuum.

usually I found native english women speaking are annoying, but not you. YOU ARE STILL LADY!
Please do a video on your exquisite painting of your pussycat…I beg of you! It’s enchanting.
I love your art series. It is so enlighting and informative and very beautiful. I saw several of Arcimboldo's paintings at the Lourve and was blown away by their complexity and beauty. Lastly, I love that painting of the cat over your shoulder. I felt like its stare would hypnotize me.
Thank you so much! How cool to see them in person, they're so incredibly detailed. We were totally mesmerized by the cat too when we first found the painting, it looks a lot like our Jimmy! 😺
I LOVE this series! Thanks for your great work. 💜 Would you consider doing an episode on the great (and under-recognized) Polish artist and sculptor Stanislav Szukalski (1893-1987)? The Netflix documentary on his life and work was really inspiring.
I honestly love your series someday you should make a video about Tom of Finland or Marina Abramović
Tom of Finland definitely!
Thanks for making art accessible to people like me who want to get into it but don't really know how. Very enjoyable.
The writing in this episode is fantastic.
Thank you! I can’t resist a pun 🍒
@@TheArtTourist A fruit basket full of puns!
I fall in love every time with yours content.... Keep going it, guys!!! 👌♥️👀
Thank you!
I can’t say enough great things about this series!
Thank you!
Would love to see James Tissot in a future episode! keep up the fantastic work!
Beautiful suggestion!
Excellent video! I just saw my first Vincent van Gogh piece, The Night Café, at the Yale Art Gallery and I was in absolute awe. His impasto technique really caught my eye and the painting looked 3D! Would love to see an episode on Van Gogh and post inpressionism. Thank you for your hard work and I look forward to your future videos.
Thank you for watching!! ✨
Wonderful! ❤ Love the artists you choose to make these videos about. Your style and delivery is excellent. Cheers! ❤
Thank you!! We're so thrilled to hear that ✨
Finally, i know the artist's name and even a bit of history about him!
Thank you so much for another absolutely excellent video, your insight, set, and voice add so much as well! I had never seen the 1563 Archduchess Anna, Queen of Spain portrait, it's very striking to me! I have a big Arcimboldo book and now I can't wait even more to read and look into it
I based my mock art exams on this artist. It was a board of faces in frames and you could spin the entire board round to reveal different faces 😊
That sounds so cool!
Once again, another outstanding job! Love your videos! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!!
Thank you.:)
I can tell how much fun you had writing the narrative, with all its references to "produce," "harvesting," etc.
I can't resist a pun! 🍒
MORE VIDSSSSS I MISSED THIS CHANNEL
We’re working on the next one!
Great vid.
Thank you!!
Sometimes I see paintings like this that aren't. Dutch Golden Age still lives in particular. Pareidolia makes me see faces in a Rachel Ruysch flower painting, just for a fleeting second, almost every time.
Interesting! I wonder if that would have been somewhat intentional on Ruysch's part, she hid so much detail in her paintings.
@Several Circles | Art History I honestly think it's just the brain. The effect is so fleeting it would be near impossible to do on purpose. However, I'm a firm believer in the death of the artist, so for me, they are there whether she put them there or not. I guess ultimately, unless someone x-rays one and sees a pair of eyes staring out underneath the paint, we'll never know.
Arcimboldo, Shakes, Dee -- what a time to be alive.
the fruit and vegetable man :)
Very good technically and imaginative
Greta video keep up the awesome work y’all 🤙🏻
Thanks Andrew! ✨
Hi! What is the song that plays throughout your videos? It sets a very calming atmosphere.
Just something we came up with. Here’s a link to the music. m.th-cam.com/video/V8Wo4_ZW8aA/w-d-xo.html
@@TheArtTourist Thank you! It sounds awesome! :)
This was a good episode. I didn't know much of anything about Arcimboldo.
My one suggestion is the sponsorship. I completely understand that you need to make money, but as a weird little socialist, art as investment freaks me out a little bit. I would pay for an ad-free version.
Love you, and love the show!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :)
I love the song that is playing in the background. Can anyone give me the name?
We made it ourselves! Here’s the super secret link - th-cam.com/video/V8Wo4_ZW8aA/w-d-xo.html
Hello again, could you please make one episode about Peter Paul Rubens?
Thank you.
Great suggestion!!
@@TheArtTourist Thank you ❤ He's one of the greatest, very special for me too.❤
Also, I would love a video on Kinuko Y. Craft, if you would be interested!
We’re probably retiring the channel honestly. Thanks!
@@TheArtTourist oh sorry to hear that, thank you for all the amazing videos you've made in the past then :)
Which one came first, Arcimboldo or the Indian tradition of composite animal miniature? (The latter spans centuries, I can’t find a reliable estimate).
Good question! It seems as though composite animal paintings became popular during the Mughal period, but that it's a much older tradition dating back centuries before Arcimboldo. Will have to look into it further!

Your not an artist unless your crazy 😂 I read somewhere that the vegetables symbolism a vegetable state vs an animal state? Almost like the green man also plant like.
