De Chirico became famous for his mysterious, enigmatic compositions that put the viewer in a state of anxiety and reverie about existence. This painting was created in the 1920s, a period when De Chirico was intensely developing his metaphysical visions, full of symbolism and philosophical references.The painting can be interpreted as an expression of the inner conflict between creative freedom and its difficult, untamed nature. The pegasus symbolizes inspiration, while the lightning bolt may be a metaphor for a released flash of genius or creative power that is both powerful and likely to be controlled.
