The artwork titled “Sun” was created by Francesco Clemente in 1980. This piece is part of the Transavantgarde art movement and belongs to the figurative genre.
The artwork depicts a bald, nude figure reclining against a green shaded background, holding a cigarette in one hand. Above the figure is a small framed image of an orange-rising or setting sun, casting its glow over a landscape with trees, set against a textured backdrop. The piece effectively combines elements of surrealism and figurative representation, typical of the Transavantgarde movement, which sought to merge various styles and historical references to create new, eloquent visual languages.
