René Magritte's 'Homesickness' (1940) depicts a lion and a winged man in a surreal urban setting, rendered in muted tones. This oil on canvas exemplifies Magritte's signature style of juxtaposing the ordinary with the extraordinary.
René Magritte's 1940 oil on canvas, titled 'Homesickness', presents a characteristically enigmatic scene. A lion lies regally on a paved walkway, while a man with black wings leans against a balustrade in the background. The colour palette is dominated by muted yellows and greys, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The background features a suggestion of buildings and a street lamp, further enhancing the sense of an urban, yet unreal, environment. The composition is carefully balanced, with the lion occupying the lower left and the winged man positioned on the upper right, creating a visual dialogue between the two figures. The painting invites contemplation on themes of displacement, identity, and the juxtaposition of the ordinary with the extraordinary. Magritte's surrealist approach challenges conventional perceptions of reality, inviting viewers to question the relationships between objects and their meanings. 'Homesickness' is a prime example of Magritte's ability to evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue through his distinctive visual language. The work is currently held in a private collection.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Painted a pipe and wrote that it was not a pipe. Worked in a suit next to the living room furniture. Made the ordinary impossible for forty years.
