This is a painting, not done recently, I almost want to say rennaissance-era, done by I think it was an Italian painter (the name sounded Italian anyways). It was called "Winter".
It is a painting of a head, but the head looks like it's made of roots, and there's a branch growing out of its neck, and growing on the branch are two yellow lemons. I remember reading that the artist did four potraits like this, depicting the four seasons. If anyone knows what the artist's name is, or where I can see I picture of the painting on the net, this would be great. Thank you.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo is the artist. Winter. 1573. Oil on canvas. Louvre, Paris, France.
I saw this painting in 2001 in Paris at the Louvre. Arcimboldo also did Spring, Summer, and Autumn as well as many other interesting portraits...

The artists name is Guiseppi Arcimboldi. I did a goole image search using "Arcimboldi winter" and came up with a bunch of results.
