About the piece
Theatre of Masks (1889) is a characteristic work by the Belgian avant-garde master James Ensor, known for his satirical and macabre use of masks. In this painting, figures in festive attire emerge from a luminous, almost ghostly light, creating a sense of surreal drama that defines the artist's unique contribution to Symbolism and early Expressionism.
