The artwork titled “Pandora’s Box” by Rene Magritte, was created in 1951 in Brussels, Belgium. Executed using oil on canvas, the painting belongs to the Surrealism movement and portrays a cityscape with the dimensions of 45.5 by 55 cm.
In the artwork, a figure viewed from behind, dressed in a black coat and wearing a bowler hat, stands on a cobblestone street. The scene is set against a backdrop of a series of buildings under a striking, vivid red sky. Notably, to the right of the figure, there is a large white rose, which starkly contrasts with the otherwise muted color palette of the cityscape. The composition evokes a sense of mystery and surreal intrigue, characteristic of Magritte’s style.
