About the artwork
In La Saveur des Larmes, René Magritte presents a haunting and poetic vision where fragility and mystery coexist. At the center of the composition, a delicately rendered leaf appears pierced by shimmering droplets resembling tears, transforming an ordinary natural element into a surreal meditation on emotion, perception, and symbolism. Through its quiet simplicity and enigmatic atmosphere, the work reflects Magritte’s unique ability to evoke profound meaning through minimal forms.
This LITO Masters edition is reproduced from ultra-high-definition museum scans using our patented process, faithfully capturing the original colour nuances, brushwork texture, and subtle surface relief.
The subtle tonal transitions, delicate textures, and luminous details of the composition are rendered with exceptional fidelity.
Validated by the museum and released in a strict limited edition, each print is individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Elegant, contemplative, and deeply evocative, La Saveur des Larmes embodies Magritte’s timeless surreal poetry and his mastery of transforming the familiar into the mysterious.
