The artwork titled “Groom with Two Horses,” created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1937, belongs to the Neo-Baroque art movement and is categorized under the genre of genre painting.
The artwork portrays a young, semi-nude man in a classical pose, appearing to gaze contemplatively into the distance. He stands confidently beside two thoroughbred horses on sandy terrain, with a backdrop of a tranquil seascape stretching out to the horizon under a partly cloudy sky. The groom, adorned only with a loincloth and a flowing red drapery, exudes a sense of antiquity and timelessness. The horses, rendered with muscular forms and fluid lines, display a dynamic contrast in their coloration: one is predominantly white with dark mane and tail, while the other exhibits darker, earthier tones. The style showcases Giorgio de Chirico’s signature approach, blending surreal and classical elements, which culminate in an evocative, almost mythical ambiance in the artwork.
