The Telescope (French: Le Téléscope) is a 1963 oil on canvas painting by René Magritte.[1]

The painting depicts a window through which a partly clouded blue sky can be seen. However, the right side of the window is partially open, revealing a black background where the viewer would expect to see a continuation of the clouds and sky.
