Angela-

There may be a translation issue with the name of the painting (or may not...) The Grove Dictionary of Art mentions the many versions issue with a work of his entitled "Empire of Light"- perhaps the same work?

Grove Art article on Magritte

I would suggest looking through some of the books on Magritte listed in the bibliography of this article and/or using the LC subject heading search in our catalog to find books on Magritte:

EuclidPlus LCSH search on Magritte

Finally, the database Art Abstracts has several articles that mention Magritte and either "empire of light" or "dominion of light".

I hope this helps!
