The street at night 1947

"The Street at Night" (1947) by Belgian Surrealist painter Paul Delvaux showcases his signature style of dreamlike landscapes and enigmatic figures. The painting depicts a deserted street lit by street lamps, with a crescent moon hanging in the night sky. In the foreground, two women in long blue dresses stand facing the viewer, their backs to the viewer, adding to the sense of mystery. The scene is populated by a collection of figures, including a man in a white coat peering into a mirror, and a woman in a long black dress standing in the distance, each contributing to the dreamlike quality of the artwork. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the eerie atmosphere, creates a haunting and evocative scene.
