How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
The Magritte Scheherazade print represents a pivotal moment in Belgian surrealism, dating back to 1947. This specific composition captures the essence of René Magritte’s fascination with the hidden and the visible, utilizing a delicate string of pearls to define the contours of a human face. Unlike traditional portraiture, the features—the eyes and the lips—are rendered with startling realism, floating within the pearlescent frame against a backdrop of architectural blue arches and soft white clouds.
The Surrealist Depth of the Magritte Scheherazade print
At the heart of this Magritte Scheherazade print is the interplay between disparate objects. A glass of water sits on a flat, reddish-brown surface, accompanied by sharp pink geometric pyramids. These elements contrast with the fluid, organic shape of the pearl-adorned face and the vaporous quality of the clouds. Magritte often used these motifs to challenge the viewer’s perception of reality, and this 1947 surrealist painting serves as a prime example of his cerebral approach to art.
The color palette is distinctively mid-century, featuring muted blues, soft pinks, and deep reds. The blue arches in the background suggest an infinite, dream-like space, while the red curtain on the left adds a theatrical quality to the scene. This Magritte Scheherazade print brings these complex layers into your home, maintaining the integrity of the original oils through our high-resolution reproduction process.

Historical Context of the 1947 Surrealist Painting
René Magritte created Scheherazade during a period of transition in his career. The title itself refers to the legendary storyteller of the One Thousand and One Nights, suggesting a narrative that is both elusive and multifaceted. By integrating this Magritte Scheherazade print into your collection, you are highlighting a piece of art history that questions the nature of representation. The Belgian art print serves as a conversation starter, inviting observers to look past the surface of the pearls and into the blue void beyond.
The composition is balanced and thoughtful. The verticality of the pyramids and the arches provides a structured framework for the more ephemeral clouds. This contrast makes the work a versatile choice for various room types, from a professional office to a quiet reading nook. The presence of the glass of water—a common Magritte trope—adds a layer of domestic surrealism that grounds the more fantastic elements of the work. Our commitment to quality ensures that your acquisition remains a central feature of your gallery wall for years to come.
