Spectacular original Dali lithograph! Complete with consignor provided COA. Title: Leo quasi Bos comedens palea ( The Lion eating straw like the Ox ) COA Artist Name: Salvador Dali. Medium: Original color lithograph on heavy rag paper. Year: 1967. Signature: Signed in the plate Image. Size: 19 x 13.75 in. NEW MUSEUM QUALITY FRAMING: 32 x 27 INCHES. Edition: Published by Rizzoli in Milan, Italy from the Biblia Sacra Suite. Condition: Excellent. Expect to pay $3000 and up in a gallery! This suite, containing 105 lithographs on heavy rag paper within five illustrated volumes of the Bible in Vulgate, was published in 1969 by Rizzoli Editions, Milan, Italy and is the largest published suite of Dali’s work. Six years in the making, from 1963 – 1969, the suite was commissioned by Dali’s good friend and leading Dali patron Guiseppe Albaretto, who wanted to lead the artist to God and back to the Catholic Church. The illustrations, rich in both color and content, show the artist’s range of creativity as they exhibit a wide variety of imagery – some Christian and some based on classical mythology. The works also show Dali’s spontaneity, as the artist employed the use of “bulletism, a Dalinian invention where an arquebus (a type of antique gun) was loaded with ink-filled capsules and then fired at blank sheets of paper. The resultant patterns/designs were then incorporated into the suite’s illustrations. Excellent piece and excellent investment. Note: In the pics of this listing you can see the large hard cover 296 page book just on Dali and the Biblia Sacria. Amazing reading and work! The book is not included with the art.
