About Metaphysical Interior with sun which dies

The artwork titled “Metaphysical Interior with Sun which Dies” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1971. It was produced in Rome, Italy, using oil on canvas. This piece belongs to the Metaphysical art movement and is categorized under the genre of interior.

In the artwork, the viewer is presented with an enigmatic interior scene rendered in Chirico’s distinctive metaphysical style. The room is depicted with a peculiar, surrealistic arrangement of objects and geometric forms. A sun, stylized with swirling orange rays, is visible through one window, symbolizing not just illumination but a metaphysical presence. Opposite this, a crescent moon emerges through another window, balancing the composition and introducing a cosmic duality. Central to the artwork is a framed section dominated by abstract, dark forms resembling flames or shadows, contributing to the mysterious atmosphere. The floor is strewn with lines and objects, including a prominent crescent shape, invoking a sense of otherworldliness and contemplation. The piece effectively blends the real with the surreal, creating a space that invites introspection and philosophical inquiry.
