“Call of Peaks” is an artwork by the renowned artist, René Magritte, created in 1943 in Carcassonne, France. This painting belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized within the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene mountainous landscape with snow-covered peaks standing majestically against a clear blue sky. The mountains occupy the background, establishing a sense of depth. In the foreground, there is a peculiar structure composed of a base and three unattached wooden elements floating above it, defying the laws of physics, as is characteristic of Surrealist art. The entirety of the scene is framed by a beige floor and a partial glimpse of a red curtain on the right side, adding an element of mystery and theatricality to the composition. Through his exceptional use of ordinary objects and unexpected juxtapositions, Magritte elicits a sense of wonder and introspection in the viewer.
