Magritte line

Renè Magritte (1898-1967) was a Belgian painter. Together with Paul Delvaux he is considered the greatest painter of surrealism in Belgium. After initial proximity to Cubism and futurism, his style centered on a very accurate depiction technique based on trompe l’oeil, like Salvador Dalì and Delvaux, but without resorting to the paranoid type of symbology of the first or of the erotic-ancientizing type of the second.

But René Magritte, also called le saboteur tranquille, that is the silent disturber, due to his ability to insinuate doubts about the real through the representation of the real itself, does not approach the real to interpret it, nor to portray it, but to show its indefinable mystery. The intention of his work is to allude to the whole as a mystery and not to define it.

Delusions of grandeur

Parastone it was originally part of the renowned ‘Borzo’ art dealership, founded in 1880. company specializing in the restoration of mainly ecclesiastical works of art.

As more and more sculptures were produced according to their own design, in 1963 it was decided to create Parastone as an independent company. 

For almost 50 years Parastone has been successfully designing decorative sculptures, partly of a timeless classic beauty, partly in line with prevailing trends. 

The museum’s collection of images under the name “Mouseion” is an important part of the collection. In addition to true copies of important works of art, Mouseion also consists of three-dimensional interpretations of paintings and drawings by many artists, ranging from Hieronymus Bosch to Salvador Dali.

Also present in the collection are reproductions of drawings by Albert Dubout, Guillermo Forchino, Jacky Zegers and other artists.  

The production takes place in the Hertohenbosch workshop in the Netherlands by the hand of skilled craftsmen.

The items are mostly made of marble resin and poly resin, resistant and unalterable materials over time that allow you to create reproductions of works of art by increasing the work of the craftsman at a cost within everyone’s reach.
