Arcimboldo's world

Yesterday, Mrs. M and I met at the Koen gate (公園口)
of Ueno Station.

It was a month since we met last.

This time we went to the National Museum of Western
Art, Tokyo (国立西洋美術館).

Mrs. M and I enjoyed Giuseppe Arcimbold's world.
(ジュゼッペ・アルチンボルド展)

He was born in 1526 and died in 1593 in Milan, Italy.

(Oh, I remember the days I visited Milan twice!)

In 1562 he became a court painter (宮廷画家)
in the Holy Roman Empire (神聖ローマ帝国).

To tell the truth, I didin't know his name, nor his works.

His paintings Are Full of Wonders!

I'm sorry I can't explain how wonderful they are
in my poor English.

Please visit the following, if you please.

Art is long; life is short.

Mrs. M and I had a very good time.

we enjoyed walking アメヤ横丁, too.

Thank you so much, Mrs. M!
