About the artwork
In L’Empire des Lumières, René Magritte creates one of his most iconic visual paradoxes: a tranquil nocturnal street illuminated by daylight sky. The serene house, glowing streetlamp, and deep shadows coexist with a bright, cloud-filled blue above, generating a quiet tension between reality and illusion. This poetic contradiction embodies Magritte’s mastery—transforming the familiar into a scene of mystery, contemplation, and subtle wonder.
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 delicate gradients, precise edges, and atmospheric contrast between night and day 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.
Iconic, serene, and deeply evocative, L’Empire des Lumières brings Magritte’s timeless surreal poetry into any interior.
