Salvador Dalí — Knights of the Round Table: five plates (M. & L. 1504-1505; 1508-1510)
Salvador Dalí

Knights of the Round Table: five plates (M. & L. 1504-1505; 1508-1510)

Salvador Dalí's "Knights of the Round Table" suite comprises five color lithographs created between 1504 and 1510 (catalogued in Michler and Löpsinger), each signed and numbered 179/350 in pencil as part of a limited edition of 350 impressions plus 50 artist's proofs published by Martin Lawrence Limited Editions in Los Angeles. The series presents Dalí's characteristically surrealist interpretation of Arthurian legend, rendered in his distinctive style that merges dreamlike imagery with technical mastery of the lithographic medium. These unframed prints exemplify the artist's prolific engagement with printmaking during the mid twentieth century and his fascination with historical and mythological subject matter transformed through his surrealist vision.

Medium
All signed and numbered 179/350 in pencil (there were also 50 artist's proofs), published by Martin Lawrence Limited Editions, Los Angeles, all unframed.
