Product Information

The Empire of Light (French: L'Empire des lumières) is the title of a succession of paintings by René Magritte. [1] They depict the paradoxical image of a nocturnal landscape beneath a sunlit sky. [2] He explored the theme in 27 paintings (17 oil paintings and 10 gouaches) from the 1940s to the 1960s. [3] [4] The paintings were not planned as a formal series. They have never all been exhibited together and are rarely exhibited in smaller groups. [1] [4] The original French title, L'Empire des Lumieres is sometimes translated as singular, The Empire of Light, [5] :60 p. [6] :184 p.and sometimes as plural The Empire of Lights. [7] :126 p. [8] :177 p. Other translations include The Dominion of Light: making the distinction: "an empire exists in relation to a ruler, a dominion does not necessarily require this.” [4] Precursors, influences, and origins [ edit ] Cassou, Jean (1984) The Concise Encyclopaedia of Symbolism.

The conception of a picture, that is, the idea, is not visible in the picture: an idea cannot be seen with the eyes. What is represented in a picture is what is visible to the eyes, it is the thing or things that must have been ideated. Thus, what are represented in the picture The Empire of Light are the things I ideated, i.e. a nighttime landscape and a sky such as we see during the day. The landscape evokes night and the sky evokes day. I call this power: poetry.

If I believe this evocation has such poetic power, it is because among other reasons, I have always felt the greatest interest in night and in day, yet without ever having preferred one or the other. This great personal interest in night and day is a feeling of admiration and astonishment."

Ryan] It's a given that Colman excels at burying beneath the skin of lonely, repressed characters, whom she's able to imbue with vibrant inner life. Her award-winning portrayal of the tragic Queen Anne in The Favourite was a masterclass in mixing sympathy and revulsion, although we're not expecting too much of the latter here.
