''Vertumnus'' is a painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, created in 1590-1591. The work is a portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, depicted as Vertumnus, the Roman god of seasons, change, and plant growth. Arcimboldo was known for his imaginative portrait heads composed entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, and fish; ''Vertumnus'' is a quintessential example of this unique style.

The painting is a testament to Arcimboldo's skill in using natural elements to create a visually coherent and symbolic representation of a human face. The emperor's likeness is composed of fruits and vegetables that correspond to the different seasons, reflecting the cyclical nature of growth and decay and the abundance of the earth, which can be seen as a metaphor for a prosperous and harmonious reign. The choice of Vertumnus for the emperor's personification is significant, as it aligns Rudolf II with the themes of metamorphosis and the nurturing aspect of leadership.

''Vertumnus'' is celebrated for its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the playful yet erudite manner in which it engages with Renaissance themes of naturalism, allegory, and the relationship between art and nature. The painting is held in the collection of Skokloster Castle in Sweden and remains one of Arcimboldo's most famous and studied works. Its enduring appeal lies in its blend of portraiture, still life, and allegory, as well as its reflection of the cultural and intellectual preoccupations of the late Renaissance.
