“Nymph with Triton,” created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1960, is an oil painting on canvas representing the Neo-baroque art movement and falls within the mythological painting genre. The artwork depicts an ethereal and dynamic scene featuring mythological figures engaging in a mythical environment.
The composition highlights a robust Triton playing a conch-shell trumpet, with a graceful yet sensual nymph draped across his back, her golden hair flowing in the wind. Both figures are immersed in a tumultuous seascape, characterized by rolling waves and a dramatic sky. The vigorous brushwork and rich color palette imbue the scene with a sense of movement and intensity, evoking the grandeur and emotional depth characteristic of the Neo-baroque style.
