René Magritte (1898 – 1967) was a Belgian Surrealist artist. He became well known for creating a number of witty and thought-provoking images. Often depicting ordinary objects in an unusual context, his work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality. His imagery has influenced Pop art, minimalist and conceptual art.

 Mons, Belgium

Collegiate Church of St. Waudru, The 15th-century town hall in Grand Place, Street view

From Maria, Belgium

Mons is a Belgian city and municipality, and the capital of the province of Hainaut.

Mons has some unique attractions also in the nearby vicinity which are well worth visiting.

Mons on kaupunki ranskankielisessä Valloniassa. Se sijaitsee 55 kilometriä lounaaseen Brysselistä. Mons on keskellä hiilialuetta ja kaupungista tuli hiilikaivosten takia tärkeä raskaan teollisuuden keskus 1800-luvulta alkaen. Tekstiiliteollisuus nousi jo 1800-luvulla merkittäväksi teollisuuden haaraksi. Mons joutui raskaiden pommitusten kohteeksi toisessa maailmansodasta. Nykyisin kaivostoiminta on lopetettu ja kaupunki on tärkeä yliopisto- ja kauppakeskus.
