A painting from 1913, "La Grande Tour" (The Great Tower), by my long-term favourite 19th century painter - the Italian surrealist Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978). By some reason, this very picture moves me to tears every time I see it and it can be found in the gallery "Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen", in Düsseldorf, Germany. I've never been to Düsseldorf - but this painting alone makes it worth a visit.
Another amazing piece by De Chirico called Mystery and Melancholy of a Street, from 1914. It belongs to a private collector which means I will probably never see it.
