Could You Guess How Old The Original Image Of This Ad Is?

This piece of Art made in 1573 (yes it is 439 years old) by Giuseppe Arcimboldo. 

To quote wikipedia: "Giuseppe Arcimboldo (also spelled Arcimboldi) (1527 – July 11, 1593). was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books – that is, he painted representations of these objects on the canvas arranged in such a way that the whole collection of objects formed a recognizable likeness of the portrait subject." 

For all we know it was probably this kind of art which served as an inspiration for the modern day technique of compositing, a technique favoured by artists in advertising .
