"Study for 'The City Rises'" is a preliminary work by Italian painter and sculptor Umberto Boccioni, created in 1910 as part of the preparatory process for his seminal painting "The City Rises" (1910). Boccioni, a leading figure of the Futurist movement, sought to express the dynamism, energy, and movement of the modern urban environment through his art. The study captures the embryonic stages of Boccioni's exploration into the themes of modernity, labor, and the bustling life of the city, which would become central to the larger canvas.

The study itself is indicative of Boccioni's transition from Divisionism—a technique characterized by the separation of colors into individual dots or patches that interacted optically—to a more fluid and dynamic representation of light and movement, which would come to define Futurism's aesthetic. While the final painting, "The City Rises," is often celebrated as one of the first major Futurist works, emphasizing the noise, speed, and industrial power of the early 20th-century city, the study provides insight into Boccioni's working method and the development of his ideas.

In "Study for 'The City Rises'," viewers can observe Boccioni's use of swirling lines, fragmented forms, and a palette that begins to break away from naturalistic representation. The work captures the chaos and vigor of urban construction, with elements that appear to be in a state of flux—reflecting the artist's fascination with the concept of 'universal dynamism,' which proposed that everything in the universe is interconnected and in constant motion.

The study is a testament to Boccioni's innovative approach to composition and his desire to synthesize color, form, and space to convey the sensations and soul of the modern city. As a precursor to the final painting, it holds a significant place in the history of modern art, providing a window into the creative process of one of Futurism's most influential practitioners.
