UniCredit's Art Collection is a treasure-rich resource that reflects the Group's pan-European identity. Among the featured artists is also Maestro Giorgio de Chirico, one of the leading exponents of metaphysical painting.
The UniCredit Art Collection is one of the largest corporate collections in Europe, comprising tens of thousands of various assets, from ancient archaeological finds to classical and contemporary works of art, as a result of the artistic choices and passion for art that has always characterised UniCredit. Particular attention has been paid to promoting young and emerging artists from the countries in which our Group is present, increasing their presence in the Collection of contemporary art works.
We strive to make art part of life for wider public, so we asked some of the artists to explain what art is and what it means to them.
The Collection boasts six splendid works by Maestro Giorgio de Chirico, reflecting different artistic phases of his life. We also had the opportunity to interview Simonetta Antellini, the Director of the Giorgio and Isa de Chirico House Museum, who opened the doors of the House Museum to us, sharing anecdotes and curiosities from the Maestro's private life.
"Metaphysics is the art that explores the connections between objects and people, beyond their conventional meanings. And this is what Giorgio de Chirico most represents in his metaphysical paintings, that is, he solicits the astonishment and dismay of the viewer and thus introspection.”
- Simonetta Antellini
