The artwork, titled “Island San Giorgio,” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1967 in Rome, Italy. It is rendered in oil on canvas and adheres to the Neo-baroque art movement. The dimensions of the painting are 116 by 119 centimeters and it appears to belong to the cityscape genre. This distinguished piece is currently housed in a private collection.

The artwork captures a serene and picturesque view of San Giorgio Island in Venice. Dominating the scene is the grand facade of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, with its distinctive dome and tall bell tower. The meticulous depiction of the architectural details exemplifies de Chirico’s mastery in capturing the essence of the Neo-baroque style. The island’s structures are reflected in the tranquil waters, where gondolas and boats gently float, reinforcing the painting’s serene ambiance. The sky above is expansive, with subtle gradations of color, giving a sense of both calm and grandeur. This composition masterfully blends the harmonious interplay of light and shadow, creating a balanced and evocative cityscape.
