Giorgio De Chirico (1888-1978) - Meriggio Al Convento

Giorgio de Chirico Meriggio al Convento (1938) Oil on canvas, cm 39.2 × 61. Signed lower right “G. de Chirico”. The work is archived at the Giorgio e Isa de Chirico Foundation under no. 006/01/26 OT. Executed in 1938, "Meriggio al convento" belongs to the body of work in which Giorgio de Chirico again turns his gaze to the Italian painting tradition. The composition, dominated by monumental architecture and marked by a rigorous construction of perspective, returns an image of absolute calm, in which light and volumes define a space suspended in time. Although drawing on a real context, the artist goes beyond a simple view to offer a personal interpretation of the urban landscape, where memory, classicism and contemplation coexist in perfect balance. #exceptionalart26 N.B.: The first three images have been slightly optimized with the aid of artificial intelligence for illustrative purposes. For a faithful representation of the work, please consult the original photographs in the lot.
