René Magritte was a Belgian artist who was best known for his work with Surrealism and his thought-provoking images. The Son of Man is thought to be his most famous piece depicting the hidden face of a bowler-hatted subject obscured by a floating green apple. Some believe “The Son of Man” refers to Jesus, others believe it refers to the everyman; a striking and significant subject matter.
