Gladiators by Giorgio de Chirico

Over time, the gladiatorial cycle undergoes some kind of evolution. There is a transition of the artist to the realistic manner inherent in classical painting. “Gladiators”, created in 1936, have a composition inscribed in a triangle. The figures here are less schematic and much more dynamic than in the previous paintings of the cycle. And carefully worked tight muscles of rivals testify to the profound knowledge of the painter in anatomy.
