Trovatore (Brandani 157)

Giorgio de Chirico's "Trovatore" is a color lithograph created in 1972 and printed by Alberto Caprini in Rome as part of a limited edition of 99 copies. The work exemplifies de Chirico's characteristic metaphysical style, which often features enigmatic compositions and classical references, here invoking the dramatic opera of the same name. This substantial print, measuring approximately 70 by 50 centimeters, bears the artist's signature and both artist and printer blindstamps, demonstrating its provenance and authenticity as a fine art edition.
