“The Great Table,” created by Rene Magritte circa 1965 in Belgium, is a remarkable example of the Surrealism art movement. This still life artwork measures 54 x 65 cm and is currently housed at the Brachot Gallery in Brussels, Belgium.
The artwork depicts a collection of apples placed on a large pedestal table set against a surreal backdrop. The setting conveys a dreamlike quality, emphasized by the presence of a crescent moon in a partly cloudy sky, which adds to the enigmatic atmosphere. The use of cool tones underlines the surreal nature of the scene, juxtaposing ordinary objects in an extraordinary context, typical of Magritte’s style.
