(1968)
Pablo Picasso
Spain (1881-1973)
About the Artwork
Part of Picasso’s renowned 347 Series, this etching reflects his late fascination with movement, drama, and classical form. The composition stages a Roman chariot scene with a rider in mid-fall, a reclining nude, and a chorus of spectators, all rendered with striking immediacy. Picasso revisits Greco-Roman themes while filtering them through a modern sensibility, creating a dialogue between antiquity and the avant-garde.
The dynamic quality of his line conveys both control and disorder, capturing the tension between performance and reality. Traces of his neoclassical style resurface, now merged with the raw, experimental energy of his printmaking. Shown at the British Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, this work stands as a significant testament to Picasso’s final years as a printmaker. It is accompanied by full documentation, with references in Bloch 1528 and Baer 1544 B b1.
