La Légende des siècles 1950

"La Légende des siècles" (1950) by René Magritte is a surrealist painting that depicts a giant, stone chair, reminiscent of a prehistoric monument, with a small, wooden chair perched atop it. The artwork plays on the viewer's perception of scale and reality, challenging conventional interpretations of objects and their functions. Magritte's signature use of unexpected juxtaposition and dreamlike imagery is on full display, leaving the viewer with a sense of playful absurdity and a question about the meaning behind the seemingly ordinary, yet strangely perplexing scene.
