"The City Rises" (Italian: "La città che sale") is a seminal painting by Italian artist Umberto Boccioni, created in 1910 and first exhibited in 1911. This work is often cited as a masterpiece of Futurism, an avant-garde movement that emerged in early 20th-century Italy, emphasizing speed, technology, youth, and violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane, and the industrial city. Boccioni's painting is a vibrant representation of urban transformation and dynamism, encapsulating the essence of the Futurist vision.

Measuring 199.3 by 301 cm, "The City Rises" is a large-scale painting that currently resides in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The artwork showcases a bustling cityscape undergoing rapid construction and expansion, symbolizing the technological and cultural progress of the era. Boccioni employs swirling colors, fragmented forms, and dynamic lines to convey movement and the fusion of the city's physical structure with the lives of its inhabitants.

The composition is dominated by the figures of workers, horses, and buildings, all intertwined in a chaotic yet harmonious blend that seems to pulsate with energy. The use of perspective and the blurring of boundaries between the figures and their surroundings reflect the influence of Cubism, yet Boccioni infuses his work with a unique vitality that is characteristic of Futurism. The painting's title itself, "The City Rises," suggests an optimistic view of urbanization as a force of progress and renewal.

Boccioni's work on this painting marked a significant development in his artistic career and in the evolution of Futurism. It not only captures the excitement and turbulence of modern life but also demonstrates the artist's innovative approach to color, form, and composition. "The City Rises" is celebrated for its technical prowess and its visionary depiction of the modern world, making it a pivotal work in the history of 20th-century art.
