This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Rudolf II as Vertumnus designed from a painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo shows a representation of the Emperor Rudolf in the form of flowers, fruits and vegetables cleverly and artistically put together to form a human figure. The choice of fruits and vegetables are also a representation of the Roman god Vertumnus. Harmony with nature is shown here including the renaissance fascination with riddles, puzzles, etc. This would be an interesting piece to stitch and would become a topic for conversation and study. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
