Pittura metafisica

Pittura metafisica, or metaphysical painting, is an art movement that emerged in Italy in the early 20th century, primarily associated with artists like Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carrà. It focuses on dreamlike, eerie, and enigmatic imagery that evokes a sense of mystery. The movement emphasizes illusion and ambiguity, using unusual perspectives, stark contrasts of light and shadow, and solitary figures or objects. These elements create a contemplative atmosphere, prompting viewers to question reality and explore deeper, philosophical meanings. Overall, pittura metafisica seeks to connect the visible world with unseen metaphysical themes.
