Golconda (in French Golconde) is an oil painting on canvas by Belgian surrealist René Magritte painted in 1953. It is usually housed at the Menil Collection in Houston Texas.The piece depicts a scene of nearly identical men dressed in dark overcoats and bowler hats who seem to be drops of heavy rain (or to be floating like helium balloons though there is no actual indication of motion) against a backdrop of buildings and blue sky.
