The artwork titled “Night of Love,” created by Rene Magritte in 1947, is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified as a symbolic painting.
The artwork depicts an intriguing scene that merges elements of nature and everyday objects, typical of Magritte’s surrealistic style. Central to the composition are green-hued birds that appear to be growing out of leafy plants. Positioned in a domestic setting near a window with a luminous sunset, the birds seem almost sculptural in their plant-like form. To the right of the birds, a single candle burns brightly on a candlestick, casting a warm glow and illuminating a glass of water standing beside it. The juxtaposition of these elements—the natural with the artificial, the animate with the inanimate—creates a dreamlike atmosphere that invites contemplation and interpretation.
