The Birth of Image Manipulation

Meet Guiseppe: Born in 1527, son

of a painter. Trained in painting

and art, worked on church windows and tapestries.

In 1562, he is assigned to be the court painter for Ferdinand I in Vienna.

Guiseppe’s Work At first, Guiseppe was a standard

court portraitist. No big deal. But, given the fascination with

witchcraft, the occult and puzzles during this time, Guiseppe began to paint his now-famous “nature portraits.”
