The artwork titled “Furniture and rocks in a room” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1973 in Rome, Italy. This piece belongs to the Metaphysical art movement and falls under the genre of interior art.
The artwork presents an enigmatic scene set in a room featuring a mix of seemingly unrelated elements. In the foreground, a classical statue stands on a pedestal, facing a collection of oddly placed furniture, including a sofa and a cupboard. These items rest on a rich blue rug that contrasts with the wooden floor. Further adding to the peculiar composition, there are architectural structures resembling small shrines or buildings within the room. The background reveals a massive rock formation that appears incongruous inside an interior space. Through this juxtaposition of objects and settings, de Chirico evokes a sense of mystery and surrealism characteristic of Metaphysical art.
