Water (1566).
After yesterday’s post it’s necessary—mandatory, even—to follow it with a similar series of paintings by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527–1593). For my own attempt at the Arcimboldo style, see this post.
Fire (1566).
Earth (c. 1570).
Air (undated).

Very nice.
No salamanders in the Fire painting? Tut.
And by “Tut,” I mean, “Thanks for posting– love these!”
Yes, Fire is the odd-one-out in this series as well. It’s a tough one on the animal level, after salamanders and dragons there’s not a lot left to work with, is there?
