The artwork titled “Poster for Fiat 1400” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1957 in Rome, Italy. This piece belongs to the Neo-baroque art movement and is categorized under the genre of posters.
The artwork vividly combines elements of mythology and modernity, showcasing a dramatic and surreal scene. Dominating the upper part of the composition is a mythological figure resembling a god or hero, adorned in a red draped garment, standing next to a majestic, rearing horse with wings. The swirling clouds and dark, turbulent sky above add a sense of movement and intensity. In stark contrast, the lower portion features a realistically detailed Fiat 1400 automobile, rendered in a dark, muted palette. This juxtaposition of classical mythological imagery with contemporary elements reflects the Neo-baroque style’s characteristic fusion of old and new, imbuing the poster with a timeless quality while serving its commercial purpose.
