Salvador Dalí: Venice - Basilica and Campanile - Original color lithograph - 1978
This vividly colored lithograph by Salvador Dalí from 1978 depicts Venice as a floating vision suspended between architecture, light, and imagination. The iconic basilica and the campanile appear not as fixed structures, but as fluid apparitions in space. As a hand-signed print on Japanese paper, the work combines high graphic quality with significant collector value.

Information about the work
Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) is considered one of the most famous, flamboyant, and consistent representatives of Surrealism. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, he displayed exceptional drawing talent from an early age and studied at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Even at a young age, he combined technical virtuosity with a pronounced penchant for provocation, staging, and self-stylization—qualities that made him world-famous not only as an artist but also as a public figure.
In the 1920s, Dalí joined the Surrealist movement around André Breton in Paris. His work draws on psychoanalytic theories, particularly the writings of Sigmund Freud, as well as on personal obsessions, anxieties, and desires. Recurring themes include time and transience, sexuality, death, power, religion, and identity. Despite the often irrational subject matter, Dalí's works are characterized by an exceptionally precise, almost photorealistic painting style—a deliberate contrast between form and content.
Gala, his muse, wife, and manager, played a central role in Dalí's life and art, appearing in numerous works as an ideal figure, projection, and symbol. After World War II, Dalí increasingly turned to religious, scientific, and mythological themes, integrating influences from physics, atomic theory, and Renaissance art into his work.
Besides paintings, Dalí created an extensive body of graphic work, sculptures, stage designs, films, jewelry designs, and literary texts. His graphic works made his visual world accessible to a wider international audience and contributed significantly to his global fame.
Salvador Dalí understood art as a radical expression of inner realities – as a play between control and madness, precision and dream. His work remains iconic, instantly recognizable, and of unbroken fascination. As a boundary-crosser between genius, provocateur, and perfect craftsman, Dalí created an oeuvre that profoundly influenced Surrealism and continues to captivate collectors, art lovers, and viewers worldwide.
