Focus on this artwork and analyze the Description.
The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli was composed at the height of Carrà's futurist phase. The subject of the work is the funeral of Galli. In the center of the canvas, Galli’s coffin is painted draped in red cloth and uneasily balanced whilst being held aloft. Around the coffin are a series of darkened figures, depicting the anarchists, seemingly engaged in a fight. These figures are illuminated by two light sources emanating from the sun and the coffin. The illumination of Galli's coffin draws focus both to his centrality in the painting and his importance in the historical event depicted. On the left, the police cavalry are shown opposing the anarchists. The top third of the piece is dominated by darkly drawn diagonal lines, indicating banners, lances, flagpoles, and cranes, and drawing parallels to weapons of war. The harsh angles and linework of the painting were designed to show the chaos and energy of the scene presented. Additionally, the rounded bodies and overlapping lines gives the effect of movement. The piece as a whole has been described as violent.
