Profile of Giorgio de Chirico (1888 - 1978)

Giorgio de Chirico, best known for his surreal depictions of empty, colonnaded

squares in the 1910s and 1920s, was one of the greatest painters of the first half of the 20th century.

He was born in Greece of Italian parents, and later studied in Germany.  He participated

in the famous 1912 Salon d'Automne and the 1913 Salon des Independants,

and spent many of his productive years in Paris. 

This pencil drawing embellished with watercolor is one of the most important pieces

ever made available by Renaissance Man.  The strong, voluptuous nude is notable

for its strong forms, gorgeous colors, and the Matissean leaf forms on the fabric of

chair and ottoman.
