Angelica and Ruggero, 1946-1950 (oil on canvas)

Angelica and Ruggero (Angelica e Ruggero), by Giorgio De Chirico, 1946-1950, 20th Century, oil on canvas, 152 x 103 cm Whole artwork view. The painting represents a young woman, her breast nude, chained to a rock, and only covered by a white drape around her hips; the girl is standing up, her arms raised up, her hands upon her long, bold hair; nearby, a large yellow drape and a lace of pearls at her feet; a little blod-haired, winged putto, who stands up at his left, seems to address to her, maybe to advise her of the scene which is taking place at her shoulders; on the background, a knight with armour soar in the sky, while fighting a dragon with his sword Giorgio De Chirico (1978) National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art-GNAM
