The break in the clouds (The calm) 1941

"The break in the clouds (The calm)," painted by René Magritte in 1941, depicts three nude women standing in a row. The woman in the middle holds a white dove in her hand, symbolizing peace. The woman on the right is holding a rose, representing beauty. The woman on the left stands passively as the other two seem to be interacting with the world beyond the window. Magritte's surrealist style is evident in the juxtaposition of the women's bodies with the peaceful landscape behind them, challenging our perception of reality.
