Christie's Milan is offering this surrealist masterwork by
Giorgio de Chirico. It is a classic image instantly recognizable as this artist's. Lines of perspective point to the tall structure in the center, while lines of shadow emanate from the hidden sun which must be low over the horizon on the right.
