Work Description:

This lithograph by Giorgio De Chirico titled 'Offer to Jupiter' perfectly showcases his metaphysical poetics.
In the foreground, a hybrid and monumental figure dominates: a female body with sculptural forms blends with architectural and mechanical elements, creating a mannequin with a surreal and uncanny appearance. In the background, on a rocky hill, a procession of figures can be seen moving toward a statue of Jupiter placed at the top of the hill.
De Chirico builds an evocative bridge between the classical rite of offerings to the gods and his modern, enigmatic vision. The dense hatchwork and the play of light and shadow confer on the image a dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere, typical of the artist's metaphysical universe.
