SC - corn vs. polenta

[Gedney, Jeff]

**********
Whether or not maize was used in period there is a beautiful italian 
painting
called "Summer" by Guiseppe Arcimboldo, c. 1573.  It is a "man" made 
entirely
of fruits and vegetables  . . . 
Are there similar representations from other artists in other
countries?  I am looking at a postcard.  It doesn't tell us if they were 
eaten
or how, but it does show that things were familiar in a certain place at 
a
certain time.

I've always thought that picture was neat-o!  I have seen similar 
pictures of flowers, ie, a vase full of every sort of flower for the 
season.  If you know where I can get another of those postcards, tell me, 
'cause I would love to have one.
