Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, writer, and one of the most celebrated figures of the Surrealist movement, famous for his dreamlike imagery and flamboyant personality.

Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí showed prodigious artistic talent from an early age and studied at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Influenced by Freud’s theories on the subconscious, he developed a unique visual language of melting clocks, distorted forms, and hyper-realistic dreamscapes, exemplified by his masterpiece The Persistence of Memory (1931).

Beyond painting, Dalí explored film, photography, fashion, and sculpture, collaborating with artists such as Luis Buñuel (Un Chien Andalou, 1929) and Alfred Hitchcock (Spellbound, 1945). His eccentric persona—marked by his iconic upturned mustache, theatrical public appearances, and love of self-promotion—made him a cultural icon far beyond the art world.

Dalí spent his later years between Spain and the United States, producing works that fused science, religion, and surrealism. He died in 1989 in his hometown of Figueres, where the Dalí Theatre-Museum now houses many of his creations. Today, Dalí remains a symbol of imagination, innovation, and the power of the subconscious in modern art.

This striking color lithograph by Salvador Dalí pays homage to Jean-François Millet’s iconic 19th-century masterpiece Les Glaneuses, reinterpreted through Dalí’s unmistakable Surrealist vision. While retaining the essential compositional reference to Millet’s rural figures, Dalí transforms the scene into a dreamlike and symbolic landscape, infusing it with fluid forms, unexpected details, and a heightened sense of psychological tension.

Executed with rich color and refined graphic precision, the lithograph demonstrates Dalí’s mastery of printmaking and his ongoing dialogue with art history. His reinterpretation transcends mere citation, offering a poetic and intellectual re-reading that bridges Realism and Surrealism, tradition and modernity.

Printed on fine vellum paper, this work is part of a limited edition of 300 impressions, of which this example is numbered 9/300 and signed by the artist. It stands as a compelling testament to Dalí’s enduring fascination with classical themes and his ability to reimagine them through his singular, visionary language.
