The Lovers by Rene Magritte
Ponder this hand-painted oil reproduction of Rene Magritte's 1928 painting "The Lovers" and its exceptional use of color, detail, and brush strokes. Today, the painting has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection. This amazing oil painting has an odd dream-like quality that some critics believe was influenced by Magritte's mother's death, but he didn't like this explanation. It's the hidden story and symbolism behind this painting that's sure to keep your house guests guessing at the meaning behind its imagery.
Magritte was born in the industrial city of Charleroi, Belgium, and started painting at the age of 20. Much of his surrealistic art has a tendency to be erotic or shocking with several theories of reason. Perhaps it was from the times he spent as a child playing with a little girl in the underground vaults of an abandoned cemetery, the fact he was born a Sagittarius, or from the affects of his mother's death when he was 14 years old. Regardless of the reason, Rene Magritte is one of the most popular artists in the world today. Showcased in a 5-3/4"Da Vinci frame with an auburn finish, it features exterior dimensions of 31-1/2" x 35-1/2".
