Weird Wonders of 16th Century Art

Art from 500 years ago was way weirder than you think. Forget boring, stuffy portraits

for a second. You had artists like Arcimboldo literally building faces out of fruit,

flowers, and even books. Then there was Hieronymus Bosch, who painted the

most epic, surreal fever dreams ever, packed with bizarre creatures and wild

scenes. But it wasn't all just weird. These artists had insane skill.

Albrecht Dürer drew a simple hare that looks more real than a photograph. From surreal nightmares

to hyper-realistic animals, these masters were pushing boundaries and proving that

great art can be beautifully strange.
