The founder of the metaphysical school, Giorgio de Chirico is best known for his metaphysical paintings, produced between 1909 and 1919. These melancholy depictions deeply influenced the Surrealists, including André Breton, Salvador Dalí and René Magritte. The artist's works explore various themes, including those of alienation, nostalgia and myth. De Chirico later rejected his earlier metaphysical style and became interested in traditional painting techniques, preferring the neoclassical and neo-Baroque style influenced by Raphael, Luca Signorelli and Peter Paul Rubens. The Surrealists publicly criticized this anti-modern development in de Chirico's work, and the artist eventually ended his association with the group.
The Apocalisse [Edizioni della Chimera, Milan 1941] printed by l'Officina d'Arte grafica A. Lucini & C. is an in-folio publication, illustrated by 20 original lithographic plates by Giorgio de Chirico, out of text and printed “on Japon” paper (First Edition).

Giorgio DE CHIRICO (Volo, 10 luglio 1888 – Roma, 20 novembre 1978)
|
Giuseppe Maria Alberto Giorgio de Chirico was an Italian artist and writer born in Greece. In the years before World War I, he founded the scuola metafisica art movement, which profoundly influenced the surrealists. His best-known works often feature Roman arcades, long shadows, mannequins, trains, and illogical perspective. His imagery reflects his affinity for the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and of Friedrich Nietzsche, and for the mythology of his birthplace.
After 1919, he became a critic of modern art, studied traditional painting techniques, and worked in a neoclassical or neo-Baroque style, while frequently revisiting the metaphysical themes of his earlier work.
