Munich). The Munich series was painted on wood panels, whilst all the other series were painted on canvas.

The Munich version shows greater colour contrasts than earlier versions and, in certain areas, colour has also been applied less firmly. These portraits are bigger and richer in copious ornamentation which matches with each separate season. Two pillars, creating an illusion of a painting within a painting, frame the anthropomorphic image. By request of Maximilian II, Arcimboldo painted other versions to be gifted to the Prince-Elector of Saxony.
