Leonardo da Vinci's and Guiseppe Arcimboldo's portraits were painted roughly during the same time period, the Renaissance.
Why is there such a difference in their styles?

O Leonardo painted realistically, but Arcimboldo used nature as realistic symbols in his work
O Leonardo studied nature more than Arcimboldo
