"Golconda" is a famous painting by the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte, which depicts a scene of raining men, nearly identical to each other dressed in dark overcoats and bowler hats, who seem to be either falling down like rain drops, floating up like helium balloons, or just stationed in mid-air as no movement or motion is implied. The men are equally spaced in a lattice, facing the viewpoint and receding back in rhombic grid layers.

Golconda is typical of Magrite’s surreal approach, depicting everyday images in a realistic and simple manner but with their significance radically altered in a Freudian dream-like way.
