Im Leben von Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Das ganze Leben1587 or 1588
Retirement and return to Milan
After about 25 years at the Habsburg court Arcimboldo retired and returned to Milan; sources give 1587, while Morigia says 1588. He kept sending works in his composite style to Prague.
1587–1593
The Milan circle: Morigia, Lomazzo, Luini
Back in Milan Arcimboldo renewed old acquaintances and made new ones. His friends included the Jesuit Paolo Morigia, author of the History of the Antiquities of Milan, the main source on his life; Lomazzo, his future biographer; and Aurelio Luini, a professor at Padua.
1592
Made a Count Palatine by the emperor
In 1592 the emperor gave Arcimboldo the honorary court title of Count Palatine; in the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire only three painters received it: Sodoma, Titian and Arcimboldo. The honour is tied to his portrait of Rudolf II as Vertumnus.
