René Magritte's artistic path began in Lessines, Belgium, where he was born on November 21, 1898.

Two events shaped his childhood: an artist painting in a cemetery and his mother's tragic suicide when he was 14.

Magritte began his artistic career in 1916 at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where he befriended Victor Servranckx.

In 1926, Magritte signed a contract with Galerie le Centaure, marking the beginning of his Surrealist journey, influenced by Giorgio de Chirico.

Magritte's contract ended in 1930, and he returned to Brussels, where he resumed commercial work until the late 1930s, when collectors began to take notice of his art.

As World War II began, Magritte continued to create, exploring a brighter and more impressionistic palette, resisting the chaos and pessimism around him.
