The artwork, titled “The Voice of Blood,” was created by Rene Magritte in 1948 in Brussels, Belgium. Executed in gouache, this symbolic painting belongs to the Surrealism art movement.
In “The Voice of Blood,” Magritte presents a dark, enigmatic scene. At its center, a partial view of a tree trunk reveals a glowing house-like structure, mysteriously embedded within it. Above this structure, a large, white, spherical object is nestled within an open, cubical cavity. The surrounding environment is cloaked in night and framed by towering curtains, lending an air of theatricality and depth. The distant, visible landscape under the night sky contrasts the illuminated, surreal objects situated within the tree, capturing the essence of Magritte’s distinctive surrealist approach.
