About The dream turns

The artwork titled “The dream turns” by Giorgio de Chirico, created in 1913 in Paris, France, is an oil painting on canvas measuring 63 by 152 centimeters. Belonging to the metaphysical art movement, this still life piece is currently housed at the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.

In “The dream turns,” two pineapples and clusters of bananas are placed in an interior setting, bathed in an enigmatic light that casts dramatic shadows. The composition also includes a classical marble bust juxtaposed with the ripe fruit, creating a surreal and contemplative scene typical of metaphysical art. The background reveals architectural elements and a distant, dream-like landscape, adding to the unsettling yet intriguing atmosphere of the painting.
