100 Rs
The most celebrated Belgian artist of the twentieth century, Rene Magritte has achieved great popular acclaim for his idiosyncratic approach to Surrealism. His imagery has influenced pop, minimalist and conceptual art.
The illustrative quality of Magritte's pictures often results in a powerful paradox: images that are witty and beautiful in their clarity and simplicity, but which also provoke unsettling thoughts. They seem to declare that they hide no mystery, and yet they are also marvellously strange.

About Empire of the Lights, 1951 (L'Empire des Lumieres) Rene Magritte Surrealist Painting
René Magritte’s L’empire des lumières presents one of the artist’s most enduring and recognizable images: a dimly lit nocturnal street scene under a bright blue, sunlit sky filled with white clouds. Juxtaposing two paradoxical phenomena — night and day — Magritte disrupts convention through his desire to reveal the unseen mysteries of the world. Between 1949 and 1964, Magritte painted 17 oil paintings and 10 gouache versions of L’empire des lumières, each showing subtle compositional differences and variations, with many now residing in major museums and collections around the world. This painting from 1951, is the third oil in the series, and was part of the Mo Ostin collection. Magritte’s L’Empire des lumières series is the most influential and recognizable of the artist’s entire output, leaving an indelible imprint on the generations of Conceptual and Pop artists that followed.
