The Son of Man, René Magritte, Painting, 1964.
The Son of Man is a 1964 painting by Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte, and is often cited as his best-known artwork. Magritte painted it as a self-portrait in which the man's face is largely obscured by an apple with his eyes peeking over the edge. Magritte has discussed the work as a symbol of how everything we see hides another thing. He also reflected on the collective, resolute interest in seeing and determining that which is hidden from our view.
