Madonna

The Madonna of Port Lligat by Salvador Dalí is a striking religious painting that exemplifies his unique approach to Surrealism. Created in 1949, the smaller work measures 49.5 x 38.3 cm and was presented to Pope Pius XII, who granted Dalí approval. A larger, ca. 1950 version measures 275.3 x 209.8 cm and is housed at the Fukuoka Art Museum in Japan. Both paintings depict Madonna in various poses and details, blending traditional religious themes with Dalí’s distinctive surrealist style, creating a captivating and thought-provoking piece that bridges spirituality and surreal imagination.
