(More customer reviews)Giorgio De Chirico (1888-1978) was born in Greece of Italian parentage, moved to Milan in 1909, and was one of the founders of the Pittura Metafisica (Metaphysical Painting) movement, along with Carlo Carra and Giorgio Morandi. His surreal pictures of mysterious piazzas and ominous buildings with deep shadows, where one senses silence and solitude are fantastic, but in 1919 he abruptly stopped painting in this style, favoring a more academic and traditional one, the most memorable being depictions of horses by the seashore.
He also at this time, to satisfy the desires of those who wanted his early work, did copies of his old works, creating confusion and havoc in the art market, because now there was the original, the copies made by the artist, and forgeries made by others.
It is an enigma why this artist had greatness in his youth, to see it evaporate for the rest of his long life, but those early pieces were fabulous, innovative, and very influential for the surrealists that were to follow him.
"La Grande Torre" was painted in 1913, and the original is oil on canvas, 123.5 x 52.5 cm, and hangs in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, the famous modern art museum in Dusseldorf, Germany.
