Vertumnus is a painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo produced in Milan circa 1590-1591. The painting is Arcimboldo's most famous work and is a portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II re-imagined as Vertumnus, the Roman god of metamorphoses in nature and life. Rudolf's face is composed of fruit and flowers and symbolize the perfect balance and harmony with nature that his reign represented.
The painting is part of the collection at Skokloster Castle in Sweden.
