Salvador Dalí

Les Dames de la Renaissance (Ladies of the Renaissance), for Suite mythologique nouvelle (New Mythological Suite)

A striking example of Dalí's theatrical imagination, this drypoint presents elegantly rendered Renaissance-era female figures imbued with the artist's characteristic surrealist sensibility. The work is enriched by extensive hand-colouring in watercolour, lending the composition a luminous, jewel-like quality that brings the mythological narrative to vivid life. Part of the *Suite mythologique nouvelle*, the piece demonstrates Dalí's masterful fusion of classical tradition and dreamlike innovation, executed with refined precision on Rives BFK paper.
