Rene Magritte, The Son Of Man

Rene Magritte, The Son Of Man

René Magritte's iconic "The Son of Man" is an exquisite oil painting - a magnum opus in the domain of surrealist art that we feature proudly among our framed canvas prints. This reproduction encapsulates Magritte's artistry as it is dominated by a hauntingly alluring juxtaposition of metaphysical surrealism with everyday mundanity, an intrinsic feature of the Belgian artist's celebrated style.

The painting is a striking mezzo-soprano of the ordinary and the absurd, featuring an elegantly dressed gentleman with his face obscured by a floating green apple. His eyes though hidden, evoke an enigmatic curiosity in the beholder. A muted backdrop of a brilliant blue sky etched with whisper-thin clouds provides a stark contrast to the opaque architecture of the townscape below.
