The artwork, titled “The Divine Horses,” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1963 in Rome, Italy. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Neo-baroque art movement and falls within the genre of animal painting. It is currently part of a private collection.
In this striking artwork, two majestic horses dominate the scene against a dramatic, cloudy sky. One horse, dark and powerful, rears up by the tumultuous sea, while the other, resplendent in white, stands poised with a flowing red cape. The background features classical architectural ruins and columns scattered on the shore, enhancing the grandeur and timeless quality of the composition. The overall atmosphere conveys a sense of mythic elegance and dynamic tension, characteristic of de Chirico’s distinctive surrealism and evocative visual storytelling.
