Dalí created the etchings after mostly erotic novels by the Italian poet Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375). Boccaccio is considered the founder of prosaic narrative tradition in Europe and a portraitist of the 14th century society.

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)
The Spanish painter, printmaker and sculptor Salvador Dalí is one of the main representatives of Surrealism. Already during his school days he took private painting and drawing classes and studied at the Academia San Fernando in Madrid from 1922, but was expelled for disorderly conduct in 1926. In 1929, Dalí joined the Surrealists in Paris and met Gala, his muse and future wife. Today his dreamy works, influenced by the unconscious, are displayed in collections of important international museums. Salvador Dalí is known as one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.
