## Artwork

- Artist: [ARCIMBOLDO, Giuseppe](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/arcimboldo-giuseppe-rd57e72f2c81624>)
- Date: 1551-1600
- Technique: Oil on canvas, 92 x 71 cm

## Commentary

This painting, formerly thought to be a workshop replica, is now considered an authentic variation of the Summer in Vienna. Because of the similar dimensions and support, the Autumn on loan at the Denver Art Museum and the Winter in the Menil Collection, Houston probably belonged to the same series.
