is di chirico proto-vaporwave?

No but post more de Chirico anyway.

he's proto-surrealist

dunno if "vaporwave" ripped off his style or not because I don't keep up with teenager art movements

Foreshadowing his turn away from metaphysical artwork, eventually settling on neo-baroque pieces.

That's an interesting connection. It's possible there was a similar motivation behind both movements, albeit in a completely different time period, setting, context, etc.

Here is a venn diagram I started. Feel free to add, or revise it, maybe we can get an interesting debate going!

Many of de Chirico's works involved themes of metaphysics, isolation, loneliness, nostalgia, and melancholy. Nostalgia is a huge thing in vaporware, and the surreal, almost metaphysical appearance of many vaporware pieces do align in principle. Further, some prominent vaporware pieces feature neo-classical and neo-baroque elements, which de Chirico was all over in his later career.

I'd say the two have more than a few passing resemblances for sure.

Are you getting these from wikimedia commons/wikiart.org? That's usually my first source for finding images in chronological order.
