He was an Italian painter who, with Carlo Carra and Giorgio Morandi, founded the style of Metaphysical painting. He was famous for creating interesting art that was very thought provoking as well as his eerie mood and strange artificiality of the cityscapes. He moved to Germany in 1906 after studying art in Athens and Florence. He drew inspiration from Arnold Bocklin\u2019s and Maz Klingers paintings for his early style. In 1910 he moved back to Florence where he began painting a unique series of Landscapes that included The Enigma of an Autumn Afternoon.  <\/em>This particular painting depicted long, illogical shadows cast by unseen objects onto vast empty city scapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Chirico moved to Paris in 1911, he gained the admiration of Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire  with his scenes of deserted piazzas, such as The Soothsayer\u2019s Recompense<\/em> and The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
