Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York

Bells float high in the sky. The jingle bell is a motif that recurs often in Magritte's work. He wrote: "I caused the iron bells hanging from the necks of our admirable horses to sprout like dangerous plants at the edge of an abyss."[1]
Dutch composer Johan de Meij depicted the painting in the first movement of his suite The Venetian Collection.[2]
