Piazza d'Italia. 1945‒49. Oil on canvas. 50 × 40 cm. Estimate: CHF 100 000/150 000 Impressionist & Modern Art auction, 3 July 2020 Stage-like, mostly deserted settings reminiscent of enigmatic dream sequences, im- mersed in a surrealistic palette of colours – this is how the key works of pittura metafisica are expressed. Giorgio de Chirico was one of their main representatives. After Neoclassical and Neo-baroque periods, in his late work the artist again took up the themes that are charac- teristic of his metaphysical paintings from the years circa 1918, such as the Piazza d’Italia. © 2020, ProLitteris, Zurich Take advantage of the various ways to bid at our auctions: by telephone, online, or by written bid.
