About The chariot

The artwork, titled “The Chariot,” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1940. It belongs to the Neo-Baroque art movement and is categorized under the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork presents a meticulous sketch of a chariot, drawn with fine and detailed lines on a brownish backdrop, possibly paper or canvas. The depiction is simplistic yet expressive, capturing the essence of a stationary chariot with its wheels and wooden structure prominently illustrated. The use of line work is delicate and precise, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The overall composition appears to emphasize the structural and mechanical aspects of the chariot, providing a clear and linear representation devoid of any dramatic or abstract embellishments. The naturalistic elements, such as the small plants and rocks visible in the foreground, add an additional layer of realism to the study.
