"Piéta (Revolution by Night)" (1923) by German Max Ernst is a compelling symbolic painting created on a canvas using oil paints. As a notable work within Surrealism and Dadaist movement, it vividly blends dreamlike imagery with subconscious themes, characteristic of Ernst's style. The painting's dark and mysterious atmosphere reflects themes of upheaval and sacrifice, inviting viewers into a tense, nocturnal scene that symbolizes political or spiritual revolution. Since 1981, it has been part of the collection at the Tate Gallery in London.
