In the style of Salvador Dalí oil on canvas painting; "Galatea of the Spheres" (1952),with frame----------Measures with frame: 21" x 29" inches aprox------------------------From an early age, Salvador Dalí was encouraged to practice his art, and he would eventually go on to study at an academy in Madrid. Dalí had been greatly interested in nuclear physics since the first atomic bomb explosions of August 1945, and described the atom as his "favourite food for thought". Recognising that matter was made up of atoms which did not touch each other, he sought to replicate this in his art at the time, with items suspended and not contacting each other, such as in The Madonna of Port Lligat. This painting was also symbolic of his attempt to reconcile his renewed faith in Catholicism with nuclear physics, it depicts Gala Dalí, Salvador Dalí's wife and muse, as pieced together through a series of spheres arranged in a continuous array. The name Galatea refers to a sea nymph of Classical mythology renowned for her virtue, and may also refer to the statue beloved by its creator, Pygmalion.-----------This item will sell as "in the style of", see photos.-------------Buyer pays shipping cost, we make combine shipping--------------------To consider: We accept Paypal, but for payments over $ 1500.00, a wire transfer is required.-----------------
