The Empire of Light II, Magritte

René creates in this work an atmosphere of contradictory light yet bordering on reality.
A chiaroscuro presented by a sky blue sky, well lit and filled with fluffy clouds that seem like cotton; below, a house in semi-darkness, with darkness generated precisely by the backlight of the figures and over the light of the sky itself. It gives the impression that it is the trees and the building that generate this great contrast.
