20 X 24 Oil Painting On Canvas The Son of Man is a remarkable oil painting with exceptional use of color, detail and brush strokes. The original was created in 1964. Today it has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail color-by-color to near perfection .This oil painting is believed to have derived from the Abrahamic creation story. The modern businessman in his distinctive bowler hat is the son of Adam, and the apple that obscures his face represents temptation, still being faced in todays world. What conversations will this piece stir up in your home? Margritte was born in the industrial city of Charleroi, Belgium and started painting at the age of 20. Much of his surrealistic art has a tendency to be erotic or shocking with several theories of reason. Perhaps it was from the times he spent as a child playing with a little girl in the underground vaults of an abandoned cemetery, the fact he was born a Sagittarius, or from the affects of his mother's death when he was 14 years old. Regardless of the reason Rene Magritte is one of the most popular artists in the world today. On Sale |
