Additional Details: René Magritte's Le Château des Pyrénées (The Castle of the Pyrenees) was completed in 1959. The painting portrays a massive rock hovering above the sea, crowned with a stone castle. This surreal imagery reflects Magritte's fascination with the juxtaposition of familiar objects in unfamiliar contexts, challenging viewers' perceptions of reality. The title references the Pyrenees mountain range, which forms a natural border between France and Spain, and may allude to the French expression "châteaux en Espagne" ("castles in Spain"), denoting unattainable dreams. Commissioned by Magritte's friend, lawyer and author Harry Torczyner, the artwork is currently housed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
