Portrait of My Father is an oil on canvas portrait by Salvador Dalí, created in 1925 when he was experimenting with styles that precede his later Surrealism. The painting depicts his father, Salvador Rafael Aniceto Dalí Cusí, with a blend of realistic detail and emotional depth. Reflecting Post-impressionism influences, Dalí’s work here combines bold brushwork and vivid colors, capturing both physical likeness and psychological insight. Today, it resides in the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona.
