Giorgio De Chirico, The Archeologists, litography, 70x50 cm, 1969

"The Archaeologists" is considered one of the most representative works of de Chirico's metaphysical period, characterized by the use of symbolic and mysterious images to represent reality.

The artist represents his anthropomorphic figures wrapped in mystery, metaphysical mannequins, whose bodies merge with space and its architectural structure.

The work explores themes such as the decadence of Western civilization and the relationship between past and present, and has had a strong impact on the art of the century

The work is signed by hand at the bottom right and numbered 210/300 at the bottom left.
