'The Street' 1933. Balthus painted this remarkable work at 25. Filled with his growing understanding of Masaccio and Piero della Francesca, it is a meticulously planned composition filled with rhythms and tensions between the 'actors' and the space they inhabit. Its meaning, its narrative..unknowable and better for that. @museothyssen #genius  #rareworks #portraiture #figure painting #remarkablepainting #thyssenbornemisza #madrid #pierodellafrancesco #masaccio #oilpainting #20thcmasters #moma @themuseumofmodernart
