The artwork titled “Geometric Composition with Factory Landscape” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1917 in Italy. It is a prominent example of the Metaphysical Art movement and measures 84.7 by 60 cm. Representing the interior genre, the artwork displays a unique blend of geometric shapes and an evocative factory landscape.
This painting portrays an intricate and meticulous arrangement of geometric forms set within an enclosed space. The foreground reveals a structured composition of angular and planar surfaces, arranged in a manner that leads the eye towards the framed depiction of a factory landscape in the background. The interior is bathed in deep hues, primarily dark browns and greens, highlighting the juxtaposition of industrial and abstract elements. The distant factory, with its sharp angles and smoke stacks, contrasts with the structured chaos of the foreground, creating a surreal and enigmatic atmosphere typical of de Chirico’s metaphysical style.
