Empire Of Light

RenĂ© Magritte, Empire of Light, 1953–54. Oil on canvas, 76 15/16 x 51 5/8 inches (195.4 x 131.2 cm)

The image is unsettling, contrasting a sunlight bright sky with the darkness below, in turn illuminated by the light standing next next to the house with its upper windows lit.  By Rene Magritte (1954).  We appear to be observing from a lawn with a tree between us and the house.
