René Magritte is best known for his surrealist paintings, with one of his major works being "The Treachery of Images" (1929). This painting features a pipe accompanied by the text "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("This is not a pipe"), challenging viewers' perceptions of reality and representation. His work often plays with the juxtaposition of ordinary objects and unexpected contexts, prompting deeper contemplation of meaning and perception. Other notable works include "The Son of Man" and "The False Mirror."
