Metaphysical Painting (ital. Pittura Metafisica) is an Italian art movement, born in 1917 with the work of Carlo Carrà and Giorgio de Chirico in Ferrara. The word metaphysical, adopted by De Chirico himself, is core to the poetics of the movement.
The term was first used around 1910--20 to describe the works of the Italian artists Georgio de Chirico and Carlo Carra. The term comes from the Italian Pittura Metafisica.
