Giorgio de Chirico, Le chant d’amour, 1914.

MoMA

Via Christie's: As so often in Magritte’s work, the most potent source of inspiration for the La Mémoire paintings lay in the work of Giorgio de Chirico and in particular, the Italian artist’s famous 1914 picture Le chant d’amour. It was this painting, with its strange juxtaposition of a marble bust, a ball and a surgeon’s glove set in an urban landscape, that had sparked an artistic epiphany for Magritte when he first encountered it in the summer of 1923.
