<u>The title of the art piece painted by famous surrealist René Magritte is S</u><u><em>on of Man</em></u><u>. </u>The name of the painting suggested it could be connected to Christianity, as this is the expression from Christian writings. Additionally, the <u>green apple often holds the biblical symbolism</u> of temptation and original sin coming from the fact<u> Adam and Eve ate</u> it in the Garden of Eden, despite God’s orders not to.
From this also comes the idea that painting symbolizes the <u>temptation </u>and the fact it is always in front of mankind, unable to move away. The apple is in front of man’s face, just as various desires are always blurring our way. Because of this, viewers can often feel <u>uncomfortable </u>seeing the painting. It reminds them of their own temptations and the ways they sometimes hide the truth, even the obvious things.
