Giorgio de Chirico was the creative force behind the Metaphysical School of art, which greatly influenced the Surrealists who were to follow. While contemporary Futurists disdained anything but the modern in their canvases, the Metaphysical artists included eerie echoes of the past. Here we see de Chirico’s surreal Hector and Andromache, the first couple of Troy. A Mixed-Media painting.
