Happiness of Returning 1915 — Fine Art

Happiness of Returning 1915 shows a quiet street with tall archways and long shadows. Giorgio de Chirico worked in a dreamlike painting practice, and the scene feels still and measured. The colours stay firm and there is no rush in the view.

The print uses a fine art process on matte paper. Choose the white frame to keep the edge clean against the arch shapes. A dark wood frame gives the picture a solid line and the black frame keeps the scene tight.

This fits a study wall above a desk where the arches line up with the books. From the door the long shadows draw the eye in. Up close you see the flat colour blocks and the clear lines.
