Description:
|
|
The work is part of a series of sixty paintings on the theme of gladiators, which de Chirico painted between early 1927 and 1929. De Chirico’s main inspiration in this period was memory transformed and sublimated to become mythology. This is most effectively evoked in his only novel Hebdomeros (1929), which is rich in imagery and in its use of non-sequitur to convey the broken line of memories. The novel was hailed even by the artist’s detractors as a masterpiece and was intimately bound to his paintings of the period, such as the gladiator series commissioned by Rosenberg for the decoration of his Parisian home.
