The artwork “Titania” by René Magritte, created in 1948 in Brussels, Belgium, is a gouache on paper piece belonging to the Surrealism movement. Classified within the genre of nude painting (nu), it is currently housed at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.
The artwork portrays a vivid and abstract scene with bold, dynamic shapes and a vibrant color palette. Magritte’s surrealist style is evident through the dream-like quality and unusual composition. Human figures and faces are interwoven with amorphous forms, evoking a sense of both mystery and contemplation. The use of bright and contrasting colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green, combined with soft and bold brushstrokes, creates a visual feast that engages the viewer’s imagination, characteristic of Magritte’s iconic approach to surrealism.
