The Tunnel 1978

Paul Delvaux's "The Tunnel" (1978) is a surrealist painting that depicts a haunting, dreamlike scene. The composition features a group of women standing in front of a tunnel, with a train disappearing into the darkness. The use of elongated figures, muted colors, and ambiguous symbolism creates a sense of mystery and unease. Delvaux's signature style of combining realistic elements with fantastical imagery is evident in the painting, which evokes a sense of longing and alienation. The painting's subject matter and style resonate with the surrealist movement, a movement that explored the subconscious mind and challenged traditional notions of reality.
