The Son of Man 1964

"The Son of Man" (1964) by René Magritte is an iconic surrealist painting that depicts a man in a bowler hat and suit standing in front of a wall with a green apple covering his face. The juxtaposition of the ordinary and the unexpected, in this case a man's face concealed by an apple, is characteristic of Magritte's work and challenges the viewer to consider the nature of identity and perception. This enigmatic painting has become a symbol of surrealism and remains a subject of ongoing interpretation and fascination.
