This figure is a very successful replica from the museum collection, created by the artists of the Parastone Ateliers.
Dalí sublimated his life in his painting. Relying on great professional skills, accumulated through the execution of various experiments in the field of painting, he took surrealism to unique heights in an inimitable, idiosyncratic way. Basically, he photographed associatively what was happening inside his head: inspired by the new knowledge in psychology at the time, he tried to capture his subconscious in images and to depict his dreams in all their impenetrable symbolism. For this purpose he developed his famous paranoid-critical method. For us, as one-dimensional mortals, only the paintings and other forms of artistic expression remain as fascinating witnesses to an incredibly intense and busy life. Perhaps their appeal lies not only in the fact that they allow us a look into Dalí's subconscious, but also in the fact that they are a mirror of our own souls.
Salvador Dalí
(1904 - 1989)
* the temptation of St. Anthony - horse 1946*
After the Second World War, Dali said he converted to mysticism. The beginning of the atomic age strongly influenced his thinking and led to a strong spiritual tendency in his painting, which was painted with great respect for classical painting. The Temptation of Saint Anthony was created as an entry in a film poster competition. It shows Dali's nuclear mysticism in all its intensity: a naked Antonius imploringly holds the cross in front of the frightening, intensifying horse that defies the laws of gravity on gossamer-thin legs. The saint strives not to be tempted by earthly temptations, symbolized by the horse as a symbol of power, followed by almost floating elephants that carry the symbols of lust and greed on their backs. Dali builds on a classic painting theme previously used by surrealist painters avant la lettre, such as Bosch and Breugel. However, he depicts the frightening temptations in an alienated world between heaven and earth. This “levitation” would later return as a theme in his work in many ways.
