## Commentary

Composite Head c. 1610 Oil on canvas, 65 x 48 cm Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples Baglione wrote on Francesco Zucchi that &#39;he portrayed flowers and fruit most excellently&#39; and that he is &#39;the artist who in his paintings had the idea of composing and colouring the heads of the four seasons, with their fruits, flowers, and other attributes.&#39; This description makes him sound like a Roman Arcimboldo.
