This De Chirico Painting Hides a Horrifying Act

At the heart of this painting... is a horrific act. Giorgio de Chircio didn't just paint empty squares and long shadows without meaning. His paintings, if you know how to look at them, and what to look for are full of riddles and enigmas. V.S. Naipaul was so haunted by the painting that it sparked off one of the greatest meditative novels since Proust. A story of exile, of arrival, and of ritual sacrifice in ancient cities.
