Giorgio de Chirico was an Italian painter born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece. He is best known for founding the Metaphysical painting movement, which emphasizes dreamlike scenes filled with enigmatic objects and shadowy figures. His works often feature classical architecture, long shadows, and a sense of stillness, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
De Chirico's art influenced many later movements, including Surrealism. His iconic paintings, such as "The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street," showcase his unique style, blending realism with imaginative elements. He continued to create art until his death on November 20, 1978, leaving a lasting impact on modern art.
