The Empire of Lights is a series of paintings by René Magritte painted between 1953 and 1954. The paintings depict the paradoxical image of a road, at night, lit by a single lamp post, under a daytime sky. The paintings inspired a scene from the movie The Exorcist of 1973.

The paintings are on display at Solomon R. Guggenheim and MoMA museums in New York, as well as at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. Notes and edit the code edit code
