Giorgio de Chirico

About The Author

Giorgio de Chirico, born in Greece in 1888, was an Italian painter known for founding the Scuola Metafisica art movement, which greatly influenced Surrealism. His most well-known works feature Roman arcades, long shadows, mannequins, and disorienting perspectives, inspired by the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche and by Greek mythology. After 1919, he embraced traditional painting techniques, working in a neoclassical and neo-Baroque style while occasionally returning to metaphysical themes.
