Fondazione de Chirico has confirmed the authenticity of this work and has recorded it in their archives under the number 0047/12/10.
The Venetian masters Giorgione, Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto provided de Chirico with a constant source of inspiration: "In the corrupt and degenerate age in which he found himself de Chirico saw himself as a man with a mission to fill...the preservation, or rather restoration, of the dignity of painting, the reestablishment of a respect and love for the old masters and values they represent" (S. McKenna, Late de Chirico 1940-76, exh. cat., Bristol, 1985, pp. 11-12). De Chirico first visited Venice in 1905 and throughout his career he exhibited his paintings at the Venice Biennale. These sojourns provided de Chirico with the opportunity to study the city's distinctive architecture and wealth of old masters at length.
