The Song of Love

The Song of Love is a 1914 oil on canvas painting by the Italian metaphysical artist Giorgio de Chirico, measuring about 73 by 59 centimetres and held today at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It depicts an outdoor architectural scene in which a classical Greek sculptured head, a surgical glove and a green ball are mounted on a small wall, with a locomotive visible on the horizon, a detail linked to de Chirico's father, an engineer who worked on Greek railway construction. Painted a decade before Andre Breton formally founded surrealism in 1924, it is considered an early example of de Chirico's pre-surrealist, dreamlike style and is among his most famous works.
