About the work
Composed entirely of marine life—fish, crustaceans, coral, even a pearled turtle—Arcimboldo’s "Water" (1566) transforms a human profile into a fantastical underwater deity. One of the most iconic portraits in his elemental series, this painting reflects a Renaissance fascination with nature, symbolism, and the surreal reimagining of identity.
This is a Surrealium archival reproduction, carefully restored to amplify detail, contrast, and tone—enhancing every scale, shell, and glistening eye. Printed using 11 archival inks on thick, museum-grade matte cotton paper using the giclée method, this work becomes a rare collector’s piece: a glimpse into the mind of one of history’s most imaginative painters.
A baroque-era surrealist before surrealism existed, Arcimboldo’s work lives on—not only as portraiture, but as metaphysical inquiry into the forces that shape us.
