La Vengeance 1936

"La Vengeance" (1936) by René Magritte is a surrealist painting that depicts a framed landscape painting on an easel in a room. The painting within the painting shows a mountainous vista and a sky filled with clouds, some of which appear to extend out of the frame and into the room. The clouds, a recurring motif in Magritte’s work, represent the blurring of boundaries between reality and imagination. This artwork embodies the themes of deception, illusion, and the power of the subconscious that are characteristic of surrealism.
