Chapters — Career Periods

The ribbon is divided into shaded bands, one per career chapter. Each chapter groups René Magritte's works by their historical period — early training, mature practice, final years.

Every thumbnail is pinned at its precise creation year. A thin gold thread drops from the image to its exact point on the axis. Larger frames mark the artist's masterpieces by rank.

The gradient bar beneath the axis shifts colour as the dominant art movement changes over time — from the warm golds of the early period through the deeper tones of maturity. It fills progressively as you scroll.
