Relax while you gaze upon this blue beauty of a boat of water on the water, with clouds This framed print of the original oil painting by Rene Magritte, titled “Le Seducteur” 1951, collection particuliere c 1996 Paris. This work is one of a number of works entitled Le séducteur (The Tempter) that Magritte produced in the 1950s, depicting a boat composed of water, drifting upon water and placed against a brilliant clouded sky. Of these works Whitfield states, "Writing to a friend about Le séducteur, Magritte told him that it represented the solution to the problem of water. As with his other works, he said, the image had been found through a kind of 'frantic contemplation,' which he describes as a process of drawing the same image repeatedly until a chance line or conjunction of lines dictated the solution".
