"Le Maître d’école" is a Surrealist painting by René Magritte, depicting a man in a bowler hat standing with his back to the viewer against a backdrop of a town and a crescent moon. The man's face is obscured, leaving his identity and thoughts unknown, contributing to the enigmatic atmosphere. Magritte's use of precise details and contradictions challenges the viewer's perception of reality, making "Le Maître d’école" a quintessential example of Surrealism.
