giorgiO de Chirico- MUSEUM (Casa MUSeo giorgiO de ChiricO )

 

The museum which is located in the Seventeenth century Borgognoni palace was opened to the public in 1998 on the twentieth anniversary of the painter's death.

It is located in the apartment where the artist lived and worked from 1948 until his death in 1978.

The Giorgio and Isa De Chirico Foundation, on the occasion of the opening of museum, restored the apartment that occupies the three highest floors of the building with great care.

It consists of a large hall overlooking the square, a dining room, bedrooms on the upper floor and the studio where the artist worked with his books, his paint-brushes, and his colours.

The sketch for the artist's last painting representing a bathing woman still stands on his easel.

The halls on the fourth floor contain paintings, sculptures and graphical works coming from the private collection of De Chirico, they are displayed with the same taste of the Artist. Two of the paintings exhibited in the museum, the Portrait of Isa with yellow mantle and the Self portrait in the garden deserve special mention.
