René Magritte was a Belgian Surrealist painter celebrated for transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary, thought‑provoking images. His art challenged viewers to question reality, perception, and representation, making him one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

He worked as a commercial artist in advertising and design, which influenced his fine art style,  concise, impactful, and visually striking.

The Lovers, Paris, 1928
