Introduction


This was the piece of art by Rene Magritte which we are supposed to give our interpretation.

Egg

Art by: Rene Magritte

My initial thoughts was what’s with the eggs and why 3 eggs. So, I did some google here and there and found something interesting.


My Interpretation



The 3 eggs refer to his 2 brothers and him. His mother died when he was 14. This painting likely to be the artist giving thoughts back to when his mother left them. Wondering what his brothers and him will have grown up to be with only one candle representing their father keeping them warm and giving the only light to guide them.


Interestingly, a bit of #til on egg and candle from the google search I did. Whether the artist knew anything about the relationship between egg and candle or not, I’m not sure. Anyway, candle seems to be having a large role to play in the hatching of an egg in the past. Read this for more information: How to candle an egg?


There seems to be no reference to the author spending life in a farm but back in his time, it may be quite common knowledge. So, he could have source inspiration from the idea that candles were used to help in hatching eggs and making life comes out of the shell. In any case, I see most of his works are more of a thought provoking ones.
