He had three younger brothers, his father was in the manufacturing business, and his mother was thought to be a milliner before getting married.

Belgian artist, Rene Magritte, created paintings that transformed everyday objects, such as the apples in “Le Prêtre Marie”, into mysteriously strange characters. Magritte was reputable for his ability to use everyday objects to create mind twisting images. Completed in 1968, “Le Prêtre Marie” portrays the image of two vibrant green apples wearing masks, sitting on a deserted beach. Magritte uses many techniques to draw viewers in to his paintings.
