The famous figure of the "mannequin" that Giorgio de Chirico calls Il Trovatore is a metaphor for the artist’s own condition, that of the melancholy poet trapped in an enigmatic and meaningless reality.
Starting in 1917 and throughout his life, the artist has repeatedly created this subject, constituting an iconic series of works-manifesto of metaphysical poetics.
